Hi I am Kellie, a holistic IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapist passionate about healing and enhancing well-being. I offer group-based experiences at Cove Wellness and I am currently leading an IFS meditation and sharing circle, a welcoming space to explore inner parts, cultivate self‑energy, and connect.

With IFS we work to understand and connect with the different “parts” of yourself that may be influencing your emotions and behaviors. These parts could be formed in response to past experiences or current stressors, and they often carry burdens that impact your well-being. Through IFS, we can create a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can develop a deeper relationship with these parts, allowing you to heal old wounds and reclaim your inner harmony. Many individuals who engage with IFS report that it feels uniquely intuitive and transformative, some describe IFS as the missing link to the ways we relate to and understand ourselves.

Using IFS in an open-hearted group setting can be especially powerful, as healing happens in relationship.Our wounds frequently stem from interactions with others and with society, and it’s through those same connections that healing can occur. When you join a compassionate, welcoming circle of individuals, you not only nurture greater self‑connection, but you also expand your capacity to connect deeply with others. Many participants discover that regularly meeting in such a heart‑centered environment strengthens both inner harmony and relational resilience.

We invite you to connect with us for additional details about our IFS circle. It would be our pleasure to welcome you into this enriching community.

Do you feel stuck? Are you having a hard time focusing? Has your past made it difficult for you to stay in the present? As a trauma therapist, I believe in the inherent resilience of every individual. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, emphasizing safety, empowerment, and collaboration. I will work with you to process your experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and reclaim your life. I am committed to creating a space where you feel safe to explore your vulnerabilities and heal at your own pace. My areas of expertise are: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Dissociation, Boundaries, Grief and Disenfranchised Grief (loss of a pet), Life Transitions, Relationships, and Communication. I utilize an Eclectic approach to therapy that combines various therapeutic techniques and theories to meet your unique needs. I utilize a combination of Attachment Theory, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, Parts Work, Somatics, Mindfulness, Yoga Therapy, CBT, and ACT. Utilizing an Eclectic approach allows me allows me to provide you with customized and individualized support. I enjoy incorporating movement, nature, and spirituality into my practice and believe we are all capable of change and growth. My journey to becoming a therapist includes a combination of education, lived experience, and a winding path. I have always loved animals, nature, social issues, and reading, and knew I wanted an unconventional career that would allow me to help the planet, so I initially pursued the goal of becoming a professor in Environmental Studies. I obtained a BA and MA in Environmental Studies, an MA in Liberal Studies, and a PhD in Environmental Management, where I focused on Environmental Education, Ecopsychology, Biophilia, and Nature Connection. While in school, I also pursued a parallel career as a Yoga and Pilates instructor, which allowed me to explore connection through movement. On that part of my journey, I completed three Yoga instructor certifications, a Trauma-informed Yoga instructor certification, and a comprehensive Pilates instructor certification. For several years, I taught movement throughout northern NJ, and Sustainability and Social Issues at a small NJ-based college. However, while in therapy for my own trauma, I was encouraged to pursue social work by my then therapist. She helped me realize I could apply my experience, knowledge, and passion in the field of social work as a nature-informed and body-focused trauma therapist. Shortly after, I returned to graduate school where I completed a Masters degree in Social Work. Today, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in NJ. I have worked as an outpatient trauma therapist in the Boston area for three years, and previously worked with individuals experiencing homelessness in a community setting in northern NJ. Choosing to start therapy is a big step, and can feel intimidating. I am here to help support you on your journey. Together we will discuss your goals, identify challenges, and create a plan. I look forward to meeting you and determining if we are a good fit.

Jullie Unak is a 250-Hour Certified Yoga Teacher, Prenatal Yoga and Breathwork Instructor, Pilates Instructor, Meditation Facilitator, and Energy Healing Practitioner, deeply passionate about holistic well-being. What began as a personal practice soon became a transformative journey—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Yoga guided her out of anxiety and into a more grounded, mindful way of living, opening the door to self-discovery, healing, and purpose. Pilates, in turn, strengthened her connection to the physical body, fostering alignment, core stability, and confidence from the inside out.

She is passionate about the power of movement as a pathway to healing, believing that when we move with intention, we create space for transformation not only in the body, but also in the mind and spirit. Rooted in this belief, her teaching emphasizes the mind-body connection as a key to cultivating resilience, vitality, and balance. She also embraces the foundational principles of Pilates—precision, control, and breath—as tools that elevate all forms of movement and support intelligent, lifelong fitness.

Whether leading a dynamic Yoga flow or a core-sculpting Pilate, Jullie creates an inclusive and nurturing space where students can reconnect with themselves, move with awareness, and feel empowered in their own bodies. Each class is thoughtfully crafted to meet students where they are, encouraging presence, self-awareness, and sustainable growth—both on and off the mat.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed School Counselor with over 20 years of experience—and I am grateful and honored to sit with individuals, couples, and families during some of life’s most vulnerable, challenging, and meaningful moments.

At Cove Wellness Center, I work with people who are looking for more than just tools to get by. They’re seeking real connection, clarity, and a deeper sense of peace within themselves and in their relationships. Whether you’re a couple feeling distant or in crisis, a parent needing support, or an individual feeling overwhelmed or stuck—I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood as you navigate the ups and downs of life.

My journey as a clinician began with a Bachelor’s degree in Counseling Psychology, as well as a dual Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Boston College. I bring a strong clinical foundation shaped by years of experience working across diverse treatment settings—including McLean Hospital, where I had the privilege of working alongside leading clinicians in the field of mental health and DBT. My background also includes work in residential treatment, inpatient and outpatient programs, partial hospitalization programs, and public schools. These experiences have shaped my deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit—and my belief that healing looks different for everyone, and happens at different paces.

My therapeutic approach draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and trauma-informed care. These approaches help me tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs, and guide clients toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them. I believe that healing starts from the inside out- and that true transformation happens through connection: with ourselves, with others, and with the intricacies of our stories that deserve compassion and understanding.

If you’re feeling stuck, hopeless, disconnected, or just ready to explore something deeper, I’m here. You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t have to have it all figured out. I’ll meet you right where you are, and I’d be honored to walk with you on your healing path.

Looking forward to meeting you, and wishing you peace, love, and connection in every aspect of your life.
