Justin has been a God-send.

Great help
Written on Jan 25, 2024 after therapy with Justin for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Justin is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and intuitive. He has helped me face many challenges - most of all, my separation/divorce. He listens intently and provides wise and kind guidance. He knows when to let me talk through an issue and resolve it (mostly) myself or guiding me when I feel lost or don’t know how to move forward. He challenges me when I’m stagnant while also giving me grace when I am self critical. I feel lucky to have found him - and have stayed on BetterHelp because of him after my initial issues were faced/resolved.
TLDR; he’s awesome!

Written on Sep 28, 2023 after therapy with Justin for 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and addictions
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.

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

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.
