Juliana Mulligan

Licensed Master Social Worker

(she/her)

I specialize in Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy for the treatment of Substance Use Disorder (SUD), and I also have 12 years of experience working with adults suffering with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other issues who have utilized psychedelic therapy as a mental health tool.

I work through an anti-oppression lens, understanding that the root of many mental health issues lay in systemic inequities. Building on this foundational understanding, we will approach therapy as a collaborative effort in which we will explore past and current experiences to build new tools and perspectives to support your healing.

Juliana Mulligan, a therapist at Balanced Mind of NY.

How I Can Help

I am a formerly opioid dependent person and formerly incarcerated, meaning that I have experienced first hand the shortcomings of our drug treatment and mental health system. This failure of mainstream treatment led me to seek psychedelic therapy abroad, which turned out to be the right tool for my process of leaving opioids behind. These experiences set me off on a path to offer a more humanizing, empowering, flexible, and compassionate approach to substance use disorder and mental health.

My clinical training was in Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP), which focuses on treating substance use issues from a non-agenda pushing approach. My dual focus of working with people who use drugs from a harm reduction approach and with people undergoing psychedelic therapy has allowed me to work with clients from a variety of backgrounds who are at a critical turning point in their healing process. My work is also informed by IFS (internal Family Systems)and liberation psychology, both of which emphasize that each of us functions both within a system and with a system within.
