Julie Xiques-Prieto, PsyD

I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in the state of Illinois since 2000. I have several specialized trainings, certificates and experience in hypnotherapy, breathwork, EMDR, trauma and CBT. I believe every individual has the innate capacity to heal and achieve emotional and physical balance. I believe that establishing a therapeutic alliance and implementing an individualized treatment plan is crucial for an optimal state of harmony and well-being.

Since the beginning of my career as a clinical psychologist, I understood that talk therapy is the beginning of a successful treatment plan. To this day, I continue to learn and develop as a clinician to provide my clients with a unique personal therapeutic experience that fit their individual needs. A holistic approach that incorporates mind, body and spirit is established in collaboration with the client using the breath, hypnosis, meditation, guided imagery, the chakra system, the inner child theory, body memories, the Heartmath technique and EMDR. I have ample experience with the Latino population but treat clients from diverse cultural, ethnic backgrounds and gender identities. I have extensive experience working with trauma, weight management, depression, anxiety, panic episodes and other issues of concern. I see individuals as well as couples. I have a soothing voice that guides my clients to a deep state of calmness and relaxation. I am expert in bilingual legal immigration evaluations and receive referrals for this unique area of expertise from immigration attorneys. I can also conduct various types of assessments (intellectual, disability, academic, 504 Plan, ADHD, N-648 among others).
