About

Julie Tallard Johnson welcomes people who seek support and recognizes the wisdom and courage it takes to pursue counseling. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence and helps clients explore what is possible, emphasizing that resilience and creativity can emerge even in the most stressful moments.

Her clinical work is grounded in the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of success. She combines relational, narrative, and somatic approaches: relational work centers on a genuine, skillful connection between therapist and client; narrative work focuses on telling and reworking personal stories and assumptions to transform painful patterns; and somatic work attends to how physical-emotional experience informs insight and healing. Cognitive-behavioral inquiry is woven into these approaches when useful, all supported by a framework of clear boundaries, compassion, and professional principles.

With 33 years of experience as a practicing therapist, Julie remains deeply engaged and committed to learning through her clients and ongoing trainings. She often credits her own therapeutic relationship with giving her the means to save herself, a perspective that informs her empathy and dedication to long-term benefit from therapy.

She holds a Master of Social Work and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin (license WI LCSW 3755-123). Her style emphasizes personal insight, practical strategies, and tools clients can use right away to make positive choices. She frames the client as the captain of the ship and herself as the navigator, with the client directing the course of each session.

Julie has authored several books on living well, healing from trauma, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to well-being. She has also completed additional training in somatic experiencing, awareness, and breath practices to support personal insight and regulation, and she looks forward to exploring these methods collaboratively with clients.
