Julie Pappalardo, LMHC

Primary Therapist

I started my career at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Westchester, NY where I gained invaluable exposure, training and practice in treatment, diagnosis and multi-disciplinary collaboration, working with a broad range of moderate to severe psychiatric conditions. In the hospital setting I provided both group and individual therapy and facilitated relapse prevention services for patients treated for substance abuse. Over my years at Columbus Park, I’ve gained a high level of expertise in a range of evidence-based treatments for eating disorders and commonly co-occurring conditions. My treatment repertory includes Enhanced CBT transdiagnostic model for eating disorders, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), CBT for anxiety, Exposure Response Prevention, CBT for ARFID, Family-Based Treatment for ARFID, DBT Solution for Emotional Eating, Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) for Severe Anorexia and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

In building a deep repertory of therapy interventions, I’ve benefitted from small group trainings, individual mentorships and robust training programs including both Foundational and Advanced DBT training through Behavioral Tech, the premier training institute for DBT.

I would describe my therapy style as warm and genuine. I prioritize creating a foundation of trust and safety in the therapy relationship; from there, my clients are most receptive to active strategies to propel forward movement.
