Julia Chislenko, LCSW, PhD

We understand that life's challenges can be overwhelming, and it's easy to feel lost and alone. That's why we're here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to express yourself and find the help you need. Our experienced therapist, Julia Chislenko, LCSW, PhD, is dedicated to providing personalized psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to individuals, couples, and families.

Individual Therapy and Psychoanalysis

We work with a diverse population of clients, offering individual therapy sessions that are tailored to meet your unique needs. Our approach is based on psychodynamic theory, which recognizes that our past experiences and relationships can shape who we are today. Through our sessions, you will have the opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work towards personal growth and self-discovery.

Couples Therapy

We also offer couples therapy and relationship counseling to help you navigate the challenges of your relationships. Our comprehensive approach focuses on improving communication, increasing empathy, and working through conflicts to strengthen your bond with your partner or family members.

Treatment Approach

We combine various therapeutic techniques, including psychodynamic, attachment, cognitive, relational, and strength-based approaches, to tailor our treatment to your specific needs. Our goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and others, and to cultivate the skills and strategies needed to overcome life's challenges.

Treatment Sessions

Individual therapy sessions last 45 minutes, and the frequency of our meetings varies depending on your needs. Our couple and family therapy sessions are 55 minutes long. We also offer online sessions via a telehealth platform for those who cannot meet in-person due to circumstances.

Payment and Affordability

We understand that affordability is an important consideration for our clients. We offer a sliding scale fee based on your income, out-of-network benefits, and other circumstances. Please note that we do not participate in any insurance panels as an in-network provider. However, our services may be eligible for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, as well as Flexible Spending Plans and Health Savings Accounts.

Location and Scheduling

Our office is conveniently located on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. We offer flexible hours Monday through Friday, and we work mostly in-person. However, in special situations, we also offer online sessions via a telehealth platform.
