Therapy for teens & adults seeking support on the journey of life in NJ, SC, and DC.

Julia Tsakalis, LCSW

Hi! My name is Julia Tsakalis. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my MSW at New York University and my BA at Boston University.  Aside from my four year stay in Boston for college I am a lifelong resident of Bergen County and am very familiar with the area and its people. 

When you meet with me, you will find that I utilize a wide variety of techniques in order to help you reach your goals.  I provide trauma-informed therapy using the framework of Internal Family Systems (otherwise known as IFS or Parts Work) and Brainspotting.  I’m really good at helping teenagers and adults in their twenties through forties. I have a special interest in helping people who are struggling with trauma, family of origin conflict, grief, and anxiety. 

When working with me you will not have to sugarcoat or minimize what you feel. You won’t need to numb the pain. You will build a life of rich experiences surrounding what you already have survived.

My hope for our work together is that you will learn how to be your own leader. I will help you befriend all parts of yourself, even the parts of you that make you feel cringy.

When I am not working you will find me spending time with my boys, trying out a new recipe, reading a book, or getting some exercise. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.
