Julie Ayala Chahal, LPC, SEP, EMDR

Julie Ayala, trauma therapist in Fort Worth specializing in Therapy Intensives

You’ve worked hard to build success in your life, and from the outside it may look like you have it all together. But I know how it feels to carry stress, perfectionism, or unresolved pain beneath the surface. My work is about giving high-achievers like you a safe, focused space to reset, heal, and move forward with greater freedom. This work often shows up in your career or business — feeling stuck, burned out, overextended, or noticing the same internal patterns shaping your leadership, growth, or direction.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving women, leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want more than surface-level coping strategies. You’ve already proven you can succeed — now it’s about creating the same level of intention and clarity in your inner world.

I am not a passive counselor. My goal is to shift something inside you that allows you to make lasting changes in your life. I work with intention and specific therapeutic modalities, including EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, working to remove the blocks that keep these patterns in place. You will experience a sense of freedom and lightness when these blocks are removed, and you will understand who you are at your core in a way that you haven’t before. 

I will guide you through the healing and growth process. If you’re ready to step into your next chapter with intention, I’d be honored to guide you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer individual therapy to women specializing in Anxiety, Trauma & EMDR, Relationship Counseling, and Therapy Intensives. I am a certified EMDR therapist and has completed extensive training in the treatment of trauma including certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.
