About Me

Julia W. S. Slatkin, Ph.D.

A young woman with long dark hair, smiling, wearing a dark gray top, standing outdoors with blurred buildings in the background.

Welcome to my practice! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience providing psychological and neuropsychological assessments, forensic evaluations, and psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and families.

My training includes advanced postdoctoral work in child and family therapy as well as forensic psychology, with experience in both clinical and court-involved settings.

Following my postgraduate training, I spent over five years working in the Massachusetts public school system, conducting psychological assessments, collaborating with school teams, and supporting students’ academic and emotional needs.

I transitioned into private practice in 2019 so I could devote more time to comprehensive, individualized evaluations and provide families with more meaningful, in-depth guidance and support.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and our beloved pets. I also love traveling, cozy nights at home with a good book or TV show, and expressing my creativity through home design, entertaining, and themed snack boards.
