​Dr. Julie Kokesch

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 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.

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

​

In parallel with her psychological work, Dr. Julie is the author of Hack Aging! Get Younger with Human Design, a book that explores how Human Design can be used as a precision lens for personalizing biohacking and behavioral change—particularly through environment, digestion, and decision-making. Human Design functions in her work as an optional, applied tool rather than a belief system or teaching framework.

Dr. Julie has completed advanced Human Design training through the International Human Design School and has presented her work publicly, including at the High Desert Human Design Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is also a founding member of A Human Design Experience, which will host its inaugural South Florida conference in April 2026.

Her advisory presence is informed not only by psychology and systems thinking, but also by her background as a retired professional stand-up comedian—an experience that sharpened her ability to read rooms, perceive subtext, and communicate with clarity and timing.

When requested, she curates private trainings and workshops for organizations, maintaining the same standards of discretion and precision as her individual advisory work.​
