In 2015, The Awakened Mind Institute hired Ms. Julia Wilson and our institute and clients have benefitted beyond our ability to convey. Julia is a graduate of Naropa University in Boulder Colorado, where she will received a master’s degree in clinical psychology with an emphasis in Buddhist psychology and meditative methodology. Ms. Wilson currently studies Buddhist shamanistic practices under the instruction of the Venerable Tsultrim Allione of Colorado.
Julia is an expert in various mindfulness based psychotherapy interventions including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mindfulness based relapse prevention (MBRP), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Ms. Wilson has also been trained and certified in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family systems therapy.
During a recent interview, Ms. Wilson stated, "Everyone reaches a point in life when the methods they used to cope with the challenges and the traumas of the past are no longer working, and so they need to develop more sophisticated ways to work with their thoughts and emotions. I often see people cope with their anxiety and depression by numbing out, getting angry and aggressive with the world around them, or getting materialistic. As a clinician I try to see my clients as struggling to be adaptive, struggling to survive, they just need better tools... According to the needs of my clients, I can shift and work seamlessly from any mindfulness based therapeutic modality."
Ms. Wilson has a strong background in the treatment of women’s issues, psychological trauma (PTSD and C-PTSD), Buddhist psychotherapy, and mood disorders (MDD and Bipolar I and II). She has also received training in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy (PAP); moreover PAP was the subject of her master’s thesis. Julia has an upbeat personality and a grounded and compassionate clinical style. She is a smart, funny, and insightful clinician. Julia is among our most experienced and talented clinical staff.
