Nationally Certified Licensed professional counselor
Julie Benvenuto PhD
Healing is most powerful when we address both the mind and the body.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and over 20 years of ministry experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals through a wide range of life challenges. Over time, my work has led me to a deeper understanding: many mental health struggles are not just emotional—they are deeply connected to what’s happening biologically in the body.
With a PhD in Whole Medicine and Healing Nutrition, I specialize in uncovering and addressing the biological roots of mental health concerns. Factors like sleep disruption, gut imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, and chronic inflammation can significantly impact mood, anxiety, and overall well-being—yet they are often overlooked in traditional approaches.
Using EMDR therapy, I help clients process and heal from the root causes of their emotional pain, while also exploring the physical contributors that may be keeping them stuck. This integrative approach allows for deeper, more sustainable healing—because true transformation happens when both the brain and body are supported together.
If you’ve felt like something has been missed in your healing journey, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Our Approach

Individually tailored
No single psychological state is the same, nor the patient. This is why our professional goal is to tailor our approach in counseling to the unique set of circumstances of any individual patient.

Non-patronizing
In our practice we never underestimate and we always assess any life struggles as those that are understood not as problems to be fixed or eradicated, but rather as important indications & knowledge that must be used in the healing process.

Strengths-focused
Our stance is that everyone has both a set of weaknesses and a set of strengths. As a counseling professional, we will do our best to eliminate the former and to empower the latter. Any person that seeks therapy has a set of strengths.

Collaborative
Our personal perception of the relationship between a therapist and a patient is that of an equal partnership with shared motivations and goals. We facilitate and help support a process we co-create together.

Experience-based
We’ve been in the counseling business for years upon years. And can tell you one thing - every single person and every single new patient enriches our experience and understanding of our craft.

Holistic
As someone with formal medical training, we are convinced that any psychological issue should be taken holistically. Body, heart, mind, and spirit are all equally important here.
