With a background in social work, I believe that effective psychotherapy involves treatment that includes a bio-psycho-social approach. Clients receive a comprehensive assessment, then collaboratively outline treatment goals. Treatment is always tailored to the individual person, using their strengths in combination with my experience and training, to help them achieve their treatment goals.

As a psychotherapist who has worked in the field of psycho-oncology and mental health for over 17 years, I have extensive clinical understanding of the needs of patients and caregivers throughout the disease continuum, from initial diagnosis, through treatment, to end of life, survivorship, recurrence, chronic illness, bereavement and life transitions.

Julie Gayer Kris, Licensed Master Social Worker, is an open, intuitive listener with natural warmth, humor and empathy. Working with clients, Julie uses a relational and somatic approach. Her therapeutic style is informed by attachment theory, understanding how attachment systems were shaped by early experiences and the impact this can have on  our responses in general and especially within relationships with others. With significant training in yoga and dance therapy, Julie understands how our nervous systems share valuable insight into our wellbeing. She views each individual as a holistic system, made up of different layers - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

I have been in clinical practice since 1979 and have taught and published in the field.
I have a solid foundation in the various psychoanalytic depth psychologies and psycho-neuro-biological perspectives and have been integrating Buddhist and Yoga psychologies and practices for the last twenty years.
