Julie Martin, LMFT: Psychotherapy for English Speaking Expats

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience supporting individuals through complex trauma and relational dynamics. My work is grounded in a systemic, trauma‑informed lens that considers family‑of‑origin patterns, cultural background, attachment, and how the nervous system responds to stress. I integrate narrative and systems therapy while keeping the work practical, steady, and oriented toward real change.

Having lived and worked internationally, I understand the emotional and relational impact of building a life across countries and cultures. I work with people navigating transitions, identity issues, stress, and the feeling of being stretched between places—geographically or internally. My style is warm and thoughtful, with a bit of humor when it helps the harder moments feel more human.

Therapy with me is not about quick fixes; it’s about making sense of your experience, understanding old patterns, and finding grounded, sustainable ways to move forward—wherever you are in the world.
