About Dr. Julie Kahler
I am Julie Kahler, PhD, licensed psychologist, researcher, consultant, coach.
I make change in people’s lives by helping them grow into their best selves. I apply my wisdom and compassion in service of my clients’ needs. I value curiosity and authenticity, and I believe solutions come into focus when we see problems without judgement or fear.
As a clinician and researcher with a scientist-practitioner background, I give clients the specific behavioral and emotional tools they need to feel better and implement lasting change.
I have expertise using video telehealth and technology to deliver evidence-based psychotherapy, supervision and training, research and consultation. I provide my services via HIPAA-compliant video because I prioritize confidentiality, privacy, and data security. Telehealth is one of my passions because it provides increased access to specialty services and quality care for everyone.
