Dr. Julie Shuman

I work with high-achieving individuals, couples, and leaders navigating relationships under pressure—whether that's rekindling the connection you once had with your partner, resolving conflict in a business partnership, or leading through complex transitions. My clients include married and romantic couples seeking to heal and reconnect, executives managing high-stakes leadership dynamics, and professionals facing opportunities and challenges at work or home. MY APPROACH My style is warm and empathetic but also challenging. The work we do together is deep-rooted, which means growth sometimes requires discomfort. My clients consistently surprise themselves with how much they accomplish. If you're looking for meaningful work that translates into lasting insight and change, we may be a good fit. SPECIALIZED TRAINING & BACKGROUND I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology with specialty training in couples and family therapy. My doctoral research focused on the attributes and dysfunctions of work teams, which directly informs my executive coaching practice today. Before becoming a psychologist, I spent years working in finance and technology consulting, giving me firsthand understanding of the pressures facing tech leaders and corporate executives. Since 2006, I've maintained both a clinical practice and an executive coaching practice, working with leadership teams and organizations including Fortune 500 companies (Coca-Cola, Walmart, Cisco, VMware), law firms, engineering firms, family businesses, and tech startups. I'm a certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) practitioner for couples and offer both traditional weekly sessions and accelerated intensive formats. I hold an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential. This combination of clinical expertise and executive coaching mastery allows me to work effectively with both romantic partnerships and business relationships at the highest level. WHAT I OFFER EFT couples therapy—traditional weekly sessions or intensive formats (2-3 day private intensives for accelerated progress) Executive coaching intensives for business leaders, co-founders, and leadership teams Executive coaching for co-CEO partnerships, leadership team dynamics and conflict resolution Individual therapy for executives, leaders, and high-achievers working through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and transitions I work in-person in South Florida (Boca Raton) and Silicon Valley (California), and via telehealth nationwide (licensed in FL, CA, and 40+ states via PsyPact). GETTING STARTED Finding the right therapist or executive partner is a personal decision that should meet your specific needs. I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your goals and explore whether we're a good fit. Investment varies by service and format, and we'll discuss options during our consultation.
