IFS and EMDR Therapist Julia Berg, offering in-person therapy in Austin Texas and across Texas via telehealth

I’m Julia Berg

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly managing your emotions, tiptoeing around your own inner world just to get through the day…

If staying present feels like a struggle, and being kind to yourself feels out of reach—you’re not alone.

So many of us were never taught how to truly be with ourselves, especially when things feel hard. Instead, we learned to push through, overthink, or shut down.

That’s where therapy comes in.

In individual therapy, we work one-on-one to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel overwhelmed, dismissed, or silenced.

My approach blends compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based practices like IFS and EMDR to support you in:

  • Softening your inner critic

  • Building a steadier connection to the present moment

  • Learning how to regulate your emotions without bypassing them

We’ll create a space where all parts of you are welcome—and healing doesn’t mean “fixing” yourself.

It means learning to understand and care for the parts of you that have been doing their best to protect you all along.

If you're ready to feel more grounded, connected, and at ease in your own skin—I'd be honored to walk with you.

My Approach

As an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, I work from the belief that every part of you has a story—and a reason for being here, even the ones that feel critical, anxious, or shut down. IFS views the mind as a system made up of “parts”—each one trying to help or protect you, often in ways that no longer serve. Together, we’ll get to know these parts with compassion, not judgment—and begin to build a relationship with your Self: the calm, wise, curious center of who you are.

I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic practices to help process trauma that lives in the body—not just the mind. These approaches work together to gently release stuck patterns and restore a deeper sense of balance, clarity, and ease.

In our work together, you’ll learn to:

Understand the roles your protective parts have taken on

Heal the pain younger parts of you may still carry

Reconnect with your body’s wisdom and sense of safety

Access the inner resilience that’s always been there, even if it hasn’t always felt available

This is a space to slow down, be curious, and come home to yourself.
