About Me
Hi, I’m Julie Cardoza, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, Certified EMDR Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant serving clinicians across the U.S. and Canada.
​
I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years.
​
My work moves beyond traditional talk therapy.—my approach is Somatic EMDR—meeting you where you are and allowing change to emerge naturally.
​
It is body-based, depth-oriented, and intentionally paced, honoring the profound connection between mind and body.
​
My additional specialty is working within midlife mental health.
My Approach
My approach integrates neuroscience, somatic therapy, Polyvagal-informed practices, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into a comprehensive framework for emotional healing.
​
Drawing from trauma-informed mindfulness, breathwork, and my background in yoga and somatic practices, therapy focuses on helping the nervous system reorganize rather than simply managing symptoms.
​
The goal is lasting change through direct experience—not insight alone.

Animal Assisted Therapy
Talu, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix rescue (AKC Good Citizen; Therapy Dog in Training), offers gentle support for nervous system regulation and the development of safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship.
​
His calm, nonjudgmental presence can be especially supportive for individuals navigating trauma, transitions, and emotional overwhelm.
Services

Therapy for Women in Midlife
I specialize in the intersection of trauma, physical health, and midlife transitions, including perimenopause, menopause, and medically induced hormonal change.
​
These transitions often interact with nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and unresolved trauma responses. Therapy supports stabilization, integration, and adaptation during this significant life phase.
