Julia Chislenko, LCSW, PhD

My approach is based on psychodynamic theory. It assumes that a personality is determined by conscious and unconscious processes, and that current experiences are influenced by personal history, especially the person's childhood and exposure to trauma. I use a variety of attachment, cognitive, relational, and strength-based techniques to tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

During our first meeting, a consultation, you will have an opportunity to express your needs and discuss concerns and practical matters, including scheduling and fees. It will also give you a sense of my style, and help us determine whether we can work well together. Sessions with couples are 55 minutes long.
