Therapy in Philadelphia

Do you appear high-functioning on the outside-while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted on the inside?

Maybe you're stuck in long-standing patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or relationship struggles.


Perhaps you're relying on coping mechanisms- like food, alcohol, or screen time- more than you'd like.
You might be parenting under complex or stressful circumstances.
Or maybe you've been on a healing or spiritual journey, but aren’t seeing the progress you hoped for.

If this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I specialize in experiential, somatic-based therapy approaches that help you reconnect with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom so you can heal from the inside out.

At JZS Psychotherapy Group, our licensed therapists provide depth-oriented care that goes beyond basic talk therapy. We integrate nervous system awareness, emotional processing, and creative techniques to support lasting change.

Meet Julie Sponsler, MA, LMFT


Therapist • Creative • Somatic Practitioner

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I help clients move through emotional blocks using experiential, body-based approaches that support meaningful transformation..

This work is personal to me. The same methods I use in therapy helped me heal from depression and an eating disorder. That lived experience informs the compassionate, grounded space we create for every client.

My team and I are committed to helping you reconnect with joy, release what’s holding you back, and build a life that feels aligned and sustainable.

We accept Independence Blue Cross and affiliated plans.

Services we offer

  • Anxiety Therapy in Phily

    Anxiety Therapy

    Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, overthinking decisions, or constantly expecting something to go wrong.

    In therapy, we’ll explore what’s fueling your anxiety- whether it’s stress, trauma, people-pleasing patterns, or nervous system dysregulation- and work toward restoring balance and calm.

  • Depression-therapy

    Depression Therapy

    Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and exhausting. Even small tasks may feel overwhelming.

    Together, we’ll explore the root of your pain and build supportive tools to help you reconnect with yourself. Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.

  • Somatic-therapy-phily

    Somatic Therapy

    Sometimes talk therapy isn’t enough -because your body holds what your mind cannot articulate.

    Somatic therapy integrates breathwork, nervous system regulation, and body awareness to release stored tension and trauma.

    You don’t have to relive everything to heal. You just need a safe space for your body to process and let go.

Healing happens in connection.

Let’s begin your healing journey together.
