I have always had deep sense of compassion for others. I love listening to people and being there for them. These factors, plus my own quest for personal growth and self-inquiry, are what eventually led me to become a licensed psychotherapist.
My passion is empowering people to understand who they are and embrace their true selves. Every day, I am motivated by the pure joy of seeing others actualize their potential. I am constantly inspired by the transformations I have the privilege of witnessing in the people I work with. I feel lucky to be a part of every client’s path to fulfillment.
I have a perpetual thirst for knowledge! I am an eternal student of psychology, human behavior, philosophy, and the many other fascinating subjects that pique my undying curiosity. I’m also a big music, travel, and nature enthusiast.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism and Psychology. I attended graduate school at New York University where I was awarded the highest honors designation upon completion.
I am trained through Stanford University in cultivating compassion for the self and others through mindfulness and meditation. I also hold a certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Research from California Institute of Integral Studies.
5 Reviews on “Julia Lehrman”
I moved to San Francisco a few years back and life seemed to take some unexpected turns. Friends and family suggested I see a therapist. Never having seen or spoken to someone about my personal life, I was very nervous! As I arrived to Julia’s office, I felt a calm and comfortable vibe. Even from our first session, I felt very comfortable with Julia. She seems to always ask the right questions to really understand what I am feeling. After truly understanding what I want/need to work on, she provides amazing advice and tools to help me improve! Julia is professional, kind, empathetic, and smart. I have and would recommend her to my friends.
Julia is great! She provides a warm, safe and empathetic environment to really dig in to what ever is bothering you. She has a really calming energy that seems quite helpful in a therapist role. She is also professional and responsive in an industry where some are not. I highly recommend her!
Julia has helped me get my life back on track with personal/mental growth in more ways than I can ever truly express my gratitude for. Through our work together, she has encouraged me to go deeper into my Self and have the courage to face the challenges of life internally and externally. Julia also helped soothe my anxiety and gave me productive ways to cope with what I was dealing with. Trust the process, be patient, and if you put forth the effort you will grow tremendously.
I started seeing Julia in an extremely difficult point in my life. I was going through a transition in both my personal and professional life and was not navigating it well. I was nervous to seek counseling, but after the first 10 minutes of my first session I realized that I had nothing to be worried about and that I had found an amazing therapist. Julia is warm, compassionate, and empathetic. During our discussion I could see that Julia’s therapeutic approach was very holistic. She provided me with unbiased insight and amazing tools that helped me to move forward in my life. Julia is extremely professional, but also warm,friendly,and easy to talk to.
I can not recommend her enough!
Julia is amazing, she’s been there through many hard times I’ve had over the past few years. She is a great listener, but also asks the right questions and helps me think about things in a different way. I’ve been able to really work on myself and improve in various aspects of my life. I always look forward to my sessions with her and I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks for everything you do Julia!
