I’m Julia Hoffman.

For ten years, I've worked with couples and families through the moments that don't resolve on their own — the same fight on a loop, the distance that's crept in, the conversations that go nowhere. I'm trained in Relational Life Therapy, a direct approach to couples work built on a belief most therapy avoids: in an intimate relationship, staying neutral doesn't help. Telling you the truth does.

I hold a Master's in Child, Couple, and Family Therapy from Antioch University and have spent my career focused on the relationships that matter most to people. After years of practice and an interstate move to Texas, I'm currently completing my certification through the Relational Life Institute — founded by Terry Real — and practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, under the supervision of Charity Hagains, LPC-S.

Alongside my relational work, I'm a Certified Grief Educator, trained through David Kessler's program. Grief and relationships aren't as separate as they seem — both ask us to stay present with the people we love through the hardest things. I've made room in my practice for both.

I'm also a mother of four daughters, which has taught me as much about love, repair, and staying in hard conversations as any training ever could.

If you're looking for someone careful and neutral, I'm probably not your person. But if you want someone who will be honest with you, stay in it with you, and help you build something that actually holds — that's the work I do.
