Dr. Julie Kokesch, known professionally as Dr. Julie K, is a Doctor of Psychology providing discreet psychological advisement to high-functioning individuals and select organizations operating in complex, high-stakes environments.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles and both a Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Ryokan College. Her doctoral dissertation, “The Psychological Manifestations of Internet Addiction in the Digital Native Population”, examined early behavioral and psychological adaptations to digital immersion and has been presented in graduate-level academic settings.

Clinical & Media Background

Over more than two decades, Dr. Julie has worked across clinical, institutional, and private advisory contexts, including the Los Angeles LGBTQIA+ Center, private rehabilitation facilities in Malibu, and outpatient programs serving teens and families. Her perspective has reached wider audiences through national media appearances, including My Strange Addiction, The Dr. Phil House, and numerous long-form podcast conversations.

Author & Biohacker

Dr. Julie is the author of “Hack Aging! Get Younger with Human Design”. While the title references the system, the book serves as a deep dive into personal biohacking and psychology, weaving together raw personal stories with practical strategies for optimizing biology. It explores how individualized lenses can personalize behavioral change—specifically through environmental shifts, digestion, and decision-making—to slow the aging process.

​

Corporate Advisory & Speaking

When requested, Dr. Julie curates high-impact private trainings and workshops for organizations. Her workshops are a unique hybrid of Psychology and personality profiling, with a specialized focus on the mechanics of team decision-making. Recent and upcoming engagements include:

• Cyber Security: Specialized psychological training for a group of Cyber Security Agents in Ft. Lauderdale.

• The WELL (Coconut Grove): Guest speaker for the upcoming "Le Miami" event.

• The Faena: Returning for the second time to speak at the Ultimate Wellness Conference.

 

Her advisory presence is informed by psychology and systems thinking, as well as her background as a retired professional stand-up comedian—an experience that sharpened her ability to read rooms, perceive subtext, and communicate with exceptional clarity and timing.
