Hello, My name is Julie Faflik and I am a licensed professional counselor from Texas. I have a master's degree from the University of Texas in El Paso in Counseling Psychology. I am grateful that I have had experience in community mental health. I have worked in crisis for the last year and a half. From trauma people can have depression, anxiety and anger. Many people feel that no one understands them. I believe in working as a team. I am willing to listen. I believe that everyone has their own story. Would you like to share your story? I believe that everyone is an individual so the type of therapy I use can vary. I may use cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness or reality therapy. Sometimes I use motivational interviewing. I look forward to meeting you.

I am a licensed professional counselor and I am also a licensed chemical dependency counselor. I started in the field working with clients who are chemically dependent and did this for several years. I am currently working for a mental health authority completing assessments and giving preliminary diagnoses to clients with mental health disorders who are seeking treatment. I have been doing this for about four years now. I have worked with clients with severe trauma, depression, anxiety, the list is endless. I have also helped clients in crises. I like to utilize cognitive behavioral therapy a lot in counseling. Some other modalities that I like to use are solution-focused brief therapy and Gestalt therapy. Counseling is dependent upon the individual, though, and it is important to assess the person's needs according to the problems that are presented. I have primarily worked with adults throughout my time in counseling and have learned that is important to be very genuine with people. I would describe my counseling style as genuine but gentle. Counseling does require work in order to achieve the desired change. I am willing to help with that and I look forward to hearing from you.
