Best ever!

I’ve always been skeptical of therapy. There have been some very low points in my life where I went to reach out for help and the therapist just wasn’t there for me. It felt like there wasn’t a connection so it just did more damage by making me feel unheard. Justin however listens. I can’t imagine ever seeing a different therapist because our trust was established and he really does help. He listens and we talk through things as they happen. But he also has opened my eyes to past feelings I never realized I had. I really appreciate him being here for me. Now things are alot better. I’ve been healing and he has helped every step of the way.

Justin has been my rock in a landslide of change I’ve gone through in less than a year. I’ve felt heard, supported, and like I’ve had the time and space to learn how to see fuller picture of situations and people while holding compassion for myself. I could not recommend Justin enough, and am grateful for everything he’s helped me accomplish.

Justin is truly exceptional. I am immensely grateful for his support. He’s empathetic, responsive, thoughtful, and all around everything I would want in a therapist. 10/10 recommend - particularly for anyone going through a breakup/divorce/separation or dealing with narcissists.

So far so good. Its been a few weeks just starting this app and being assigned Justin. He has been a class act, prompt responses and some great insight into understanding listening and helping. Still a long way to go but my experience with Justin so far has been very promising. I recommend!

Justin is truly the best, I’ve lived many many years feeling misunderstood, and unworthy of even basic respect. Him being here to remind me and help me unlearn all of the things I’ve picked up has been so helpful- I’m incredibly thankful for him
Written on Apr 01, 2022 after therapy with Justin for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and eating disorders
Justin has helped me in many ways, and he genuinely cares about the people he talks to. He always checks up on me before and after each visit and is always available when I need him. He will do anything he can to talk to you, even if that means he has to rearrange his schedule. He is a great guy, and a great therapist.
