Julien Fyhrie trained at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology receiving psychodynamic training working primarily with young adults. His special interests include working with men navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression. He also has training in and enjoys working with couples struggling with intimacy, conflict and communication issues.

Julien’s therapeutic style incorporates psychodynamic, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. Psychodynamic techniques consider the relationship between therapist and patient as an important source of support and information. CBT techniques involve teaching about the connection between thoughts - feelings - behavior and collaborating on identifying and challenging dysfunctional beliefs that lead to suffering. Mindfulness techniques are designed to help take a non-judgmental approach to what is happening in a person’s on-going experience as it unfolds moment by moment. This helps in addressing problems with curiosity rather than with judgment or avoidance. All of these techniques combined help Julien best assess and help others through their current challenges.

Julien is also a trained Attachment-Focused EMDR practitioner and offers treatment aimed at addressing relationship challenges, performance anxiety to issues around self-esteem and assertiveness. This approach helps to identify, address, and heal younger parts of the self to positively change clients’ current problems.
