I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my Master's from Syracuse University and my Bachelor's from Houghton University. In undergrad, my focus was on developmental and social psychology with a minor in family studies. My post-graduate experience and training include therapeutic treatment with individuals, parent-child relationships, adolescents, couples, marriage, and whole families. Beyond the therapy room, I have worked with addiction for over 17 years and severe persistent mental illnesses for 3 years. Today I focus on treating mental health issues - whether with couples and marriages, families, or individuals - from a relational lens.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Vestal, NY


As an adult with ADHD, chances are you deal with emotional overwhelm and chronic self criticism-maybe even more than disorganization and distraction. My focus in treatment typically includes practical strategies, emotion regulation, insight-oriented work, and skill-building tailored to real-life demands. Clients can expect improved focus, steadier emotions, stronger boundaries, and greater confidence in daily life.

As an adult ADHD therapist with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in helping neurodivergent adults tackle the daily challenges that feel overwhelming, such as: Starting tasks when you don’t know where to begin Keeping track of deadlines Following through on projects Handling intense emotions and rejection sensitivity Decision-making Routine building

ADHD isn’t just about getting things done—it also impacts how you see yourself and your place in the world. In our work together, we will address the deeper emotional and identity challenges that come with ADHD. Together, we’ll build personalized systems that actually work for your brain while also creating space for reflection and growth.

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first session. Building trust is important to me, and I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step.

I bring over eight years of experience working in diverse settings, including crisis intervention, child welfare, and substance use treatment. This has allowed me to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges with compassion and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. We will work together to identify your goals and find strategies that feel right for you. I also value cultural sensitivity and take the time to understand your background, identity, and lived experiences as part of the healing process.

I offer services in French and Wolof and welcome clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to support you in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.

Dr. Sheryl Campbell-Julien, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Peace Of Mind Nurse Practitioner In Psychiatry PLLC

In an era of "assembly-line" healthcare, Dr. Sheryl Campbell-Julien offers a sophisticated alternative. She understands that mental health care is not one-size-fits-all.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she provides a high-touch, individualized care experience designed for high-functioning professional adults who seek more than just a routine appointment.

Dr. Campbell-Julien specializes in the intersection of clinical precision and personalized care. Whether navigating the complexities of trauma, the weight of burnout, anxiety, depression, ADHD or the nuances of mood disorders, her approach is rooted in quality over volume. Clients benefit from comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and expert medication management that considers the "full picture" of their lives, rather than a list of symptoms.

With a Doctorate from D'Youville College and deep experience in New York's clinical landscape, Dr. Campbell-Julien provides the clinical authority necessary to move clients beyond temporary relief, guiding them towards a sustained state of clarity, balance, emotional resilience and peace of mind.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Elmira, NY

Searching for therapists in Elmira starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. A therapist can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approaches match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

In a smaller city like Elmira, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Elmira can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
