Julie Preston Schilling

Julie Preston Schilling, LCSW, understands that feeling overwhelmed, unlovable, and disengaged can seem like the new normal for many. Her clients often struggle with intense emotions stemming from stress, such as fear, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, irritability, and even chronic pain or health issues. Many may feel unheard, devalued, and dismissed, caught in generational and institutional patterns that complicate their relationships and leave them feeling stuck. In her compassionate approach, Julie empowers individuals to move beyond avoidance and toward a thriving existence, seeking new perspectives, creativity, and playfulness in life. She specializes in guiding women and girls through various stages, from teenage years and launching into adulthood to motherhood, perimenopause, and beyond. Julie’s depth of experience extends to early family dynamics, relationship navigation, career changes, pregnancy, personal illness, and parental care. Her therapeutic modalities include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Somatic practices, Internal Family Systems, and more, all designed to help her clients reclaim their sparkle and move through life with ease and a sense of agency.
