About
About Dr. Julie
For more than 25 years, Dr. Julie A. Xiques-Prieto has walked alongside individuals, couples, and families through some of life's most challenging moments — and most meaningful turning points.
As a bilingual psychologist fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Xiques-Prieto brings a deeply culturally sensitive perspective to her work. She believes that healing is not one-size-fits-all: every person carries a unique history, a distinct set of strengths, and their own vision of what a fulfilling life looks like. Her approach is collaborative and tailored, drawing on each client's background and goals to guide the path forward.
Dr. Xiques-Prieto earned her Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) and holds the credential of Approved Consultant in Hypnotherapy (ACht). She is licensed by the State of Illinois (License 071-006196) and sees clients in person at her Wheeling, Illinois office as well as online.

Therapeutic Methods
The Approach
Dr. Xiques-Prieto draws on a range of evidence-based and integrative methods, always tailoring her approach to the individual. No single technique fits every person or every concern.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy developed to help people process distressing memories and experiences. During EMDR sessions, a therapist guides the client through a series of bilateral stimulation — often eye movements — while the client briefly focuses on a troubling memory. Over time, this process can help reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories and support the development of healthier perspectives. EMDR is recognized by major health organizations as an effective approach for trauma and PTSD, though individual results vary.
Hypnotherapy
As an Approved Consultant in Hypnotherapy (ACht), Dr. Xiques-Prieto may incorporate hypnotherapy as a complementary tool. This approach uses a focused, relaxed state of awareness to help clients access inner resources, reduce anxiety, and work through deeply held patterns.
Breathwork
Intentional breathing practices can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and support emotional processing. Breathwork is often woven into sessions as a grounding and self-regulation tool.
