Julia Berg IFS and EMDR therapist

If you’re someone who’s done all the “right” things—read the books, been in therapy, worked hard to understand yourself… but still feel stuck in old patterns—this might be why:

Understanding your pain isn’t the same as healing it.

You might know exactly where your anxiety, shame, or inner critic comes from.

But that doesn’t stop the spiral of overthinking… or the feeling that something’s still off.

I’m Julia Berg, an IFS and EMDR therapist—and I’ve been there, too.

Like many of my clients, I used to live in my head. I could analyze everything—but connecting with my emotions, or softening toward myself? That felt nearly impossible.

It wasn’t until I found Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR that I experienced real change.

These approaches helped me move beyond insight and into deep, lasting healing. Now, they’re the foundation of how I support others in their healing, too.

Here’s what I often hear from the clients I work with:

  • “My inner critic never lets up—it’s exhausting.”

  • “I know I should be more compassionate with myself… but I don’t know how.”

  • “I get stuck in analysis mode. I want to feel more, but it’s hard to access.”

  • “I know my past impacts me—but I don’t know how to let it go.”

  • “Relationships feel overwhelming, even when I want connection.”

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And more importantly: it’s not a personal failing. It’s your system doing its best to protect you.

Through IFS and EMDR, we’ll work together to gently reconnect you to the parts of yourself that have been ignored, exiled, or shamed—and help you build a new relationship with them rooted in compassion, safety, and trust.

This is trauma healing that doesn’t just live in your head—it lives in your body and your everyday life.

If you’re ready to begin a different kind of therapy—one that actually helps you feel whole— I invite you to schedule a free consultation below:
