About me

My assumption is that it’s taken some time for you to consider reaching out to a therapist. It is so necessary and also
difficult to become vulnerable to talk about what you would like different for your life. My job is to get a complete picture
in the beginning to understand how that has happened, and then, always with your consent, to propose how I might be
helpful in changing that picture.
I am, at heart, a Logotherapist. I want for you to develop a sense of purpose and meaning for your life, at which point, you
will no longer need a therapist. I will use any or all of my training to get to that point- cognitive therapy, cognitive
behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprogramming (EMDR), exposure therapy, motivational
interviewing, and mindfulness.
I will work with you on creating a comfortable environment and relationship for you to make whatever changes are
necessary to get you to where you want to go.

Justin has been very helpful, and offered a ton of insight to the underlying issues I've been struggling with.

I had been stuck in a "Rut" for many years. Not any longer thanks to Justin Westerhof. He skillfully guided me to help break through what has been holding me back for too long! Even better he did it in just 2 sessions! I had tried all the self help books, talked with my Pastor, and even attended appointments with 2 local therapists. NONE of that helped very much, and some not at all. But thanks to Justin, I have my life back! I'm back to working out, eating healthy, enjoying my family more, and truly living life. I Highly recommend Justin Westerhof, he got me back on track! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
