Hello, I’m Julie Kyle, founder of The Chicago EMDR Center (Chicago EMDR). I am a Certified EMDR Therapist, an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and a Training Facilitator and Logistics Producer for the EMDR Institute. Chicago EMDR offers high-quality, evidence-based EMDR therapy in Chicago and throughout Illinois via telehealth.
In addition to traditional EMDR, I incorporate relational approaches to support deeper healing and connection. While EMDR is known for being highly effective for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, I also use it holistically to help clients address limiting beliefs, foster meaningful growth, and create lives and relationships they love. My aim is to facilitate transformation—turning challenging experiences into opportunities for resilience and personal development.
I am also passionate about mentoring both emerging and seasoned EMDR practitioners through consultation, supporting their ongoing growth and confidence as therapists. I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how we can work together toward your healing or professional goals.

She practices holistic EMDR psychotherapy that promotes mind, body, and spirit health to create total wellness and wellbeing. Julie helps clients transform bad experiences, doubt, and fear into joy, growth and connection. She knows you’re not broken and is thrilled when her clients triumph and live their best lives.

Julie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, California and Illinois) and a Registered Continuing Education Sponsor for Social Workers in Illinois. She also is an EMDR Training Facilitator and Logistics Producer with the EMDR Institute, the EMDR Training organization created by Dr. Francine Shapiro. Julie received her Master’s Degree at the School of Social Work at the University of Michigan and has been in practice for more than 20 years.
Julie has advanced clinical specialties in multiple modalities for adults and couples, including her greatest clinical passion: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy which is effective for the treatment of trauma and releasing negative beliefs, which may be causing current problems. Julie works with clients to gain increased self-awareness, mindfulness, and joy in life and relationships.
When outside the office, Julie loves traveling, biking, and being in nature with her husband and two children. She also enjoys horseback riding (English Hunter Jumper Equitation).
