Congratulations on investing in your mental health! Building a trusting relationship with a therapist is very important for counseling to be effective, so take your time reading about, and ultimately interviewing your prospective counselor. My name is Julie Fahlmann and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) in New York. I have a BA in Psychology with a specialization in Forensic Psychology and then earned my MSW in 2004 from the University at Albany School of Social Welfare. In addition, I am a Certified School Social Worker for UPK-12. During my 22-year career in mental health, I have had the privilege of working within numerous agencies and with a variety of individuals. I have experience in working as a psychiatric social worker in an emergency room, outpatient therapist, probation officer, addiction counselor, behavior specialist for individuals with developmental disabilities, medical social worker for a homecare agency, school social worker, and was a social worker in a county correctional facility.
My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive counseling. I specialize in assessment, trauma, addiction, prevention, and explore risk and protective factors while implementing realistic treatment plans that are developed with your goals as the primary focus.
Although I have a set schedule and have mostly evening times available, I do have some flexibility if you need a different time slot than what appears. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you have a wonderful day.
