Julie Lapides

Dr. Julie Lapides is a dedicated psychologist with a Psyd and MA, specializing in helping individuals navigate the shadows of traumatic events that can linger from years past. Many clients walking through her door may experience disturbing memories, overwhelming feelings of insecurity, or even heightened emotional responses to specific situations. They might find themselves struggling with bouts of sadness and difficulties in their relationships. Dr. Lapides recognizes that while certain coping patterns may have been beneficial in the past, they can sometimes hinder the ability to experience true happiness. In her supportive environment, clients find a compassionate listener who genuinely cares, which can significantly lessen the intensity of traumatic feelings in a relatively short amount of time. She skillfully guides individuals to become more aware of ineffective coping strategies, assisting them in discovering new techniques to address both past traumas and current challenges. With a background in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful approach developed in the early 90s, Dr. Lapides is exceptionally equipped to help her clients reshape negative thoughts and feelings about themselves into more positive and helpful ones. Many have reported feeling as though a burdensome weight has been lifted by the end of their sessions.
