Julia Kidwell, Ph.D
Top Areas Treated:
Hi, I’m Dr. Julia Kidwell, a licensed psychologist passionate about helping people move through emotional pain and reconnect with their inner strength. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and self-worth challenges. Whether you’re feeling stuck or seeking change, I’m here to support you in finding clarity and renewed purpose.
In therapy, I offer a warm, collaborative space where we explore your story with honesty and care. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, and EMDR, tailoring each session to your needs and goals.
I earned my Ph.D. from Iowa State University and completed a postdoc at the University of Minnesota Medical School focused on early intervention. I’ve worked in college counseling, residential care, clinics, and private practice, and I’m also active in teaching and research.
