Lynne Ward, LCSW is pleased to announce her collaboration with Dr. Julia Wellin Dr. Julia Wellin is a board certi ed psychiatrist. Dr. Wellin will be available for Psychiatric Consultation to adults and adolescents, Medication Management, Hypnosis and EMDR. She specializes in the evaluation and management of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar l and II, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Although Dr. Wellin and I will accept referrals independent of each other, our aim is to provide integrated care when possible. We consider this to be a model of care increasingly rare in our fragmented medical system. Dr. Wellin believes in a holistic approach that includes working with the patient’s primary care doctor and psychotherapist, if desired by the patient. Dr. Wellin is a graduate of Barnard College and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She completed her residency at Jacobi Hospital, Department of Psychiatry. She has also served on the faculty of Lenox Hill Hospital and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Wellin maintains a private practice in New York City but is excited to begin working with adults and adolescents in the Cold Spring, Garrison and surrounding areas. Julia A.
