Hello! I am Dr. Justice. I have a Ph.D., in counseling and a Masters in Mental Health counseling. I work with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, PSTD-trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, people pleasing, among many other related concerns. You are unique and therefore treatment should be tailored to best meet your individual needs. I am an EMDR therapist, I use person-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT. I am open and help you to feel comfortable being your real self. Counseling is your space, a safe space to explore your inner world. Quality treatment should be tailored to your needs!

We are a group practice with more than 30 master level clinicians. We work with a diverse population of people. Whether you are struggling with minor struggles in your life or are in need of help facing a troubling past we can help. We meet people where they are and help them to achieve goals and improve their lives. We honor the unique strengths and challenges of our clients, while working to enhance life skills, coping strategies, and interpersonal relationships.

I specialize in women's sexual health, relationship issues, anxiety, job related stress, life transitions, and the impacts of trauma, injury, and illness. I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership and my goal is to create a supportive environment of trust and acceptance. I practice an insight-oriented and psychodynamic approach, meaning that the past informs the present and can create unconscious patterns of thought and behavior. Once we have awareness of how our experiences impact our lives, healing can begin.

I view counseling as a partnership between an individual or family and their therapist. When the theraputic relationship is strong I believe much can be accomplished. I work with individuals, adolescents and families as a partner in the process of wholeness. I believe that counseling can assist in the development of an understanding of yourself, your family and enhancing important relationships in your life.

Seeking counseling can be difficult to do and lends itself to being vulnerable in front of someone you do not know. An initial goal of mine is building comfort between myself and the client so that they can speak about the things that they struggle with. Only when the client can feel this level of comfort and safety can the best work be done. I work to get each client from where they are when meeting for the first time, to where they ultimately want to be.

Since 1992 I have assisted adolescents and adults in the individual, family and couple settings, including the diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders; and supervision of social workers. My experience includes mood and behavior concerns, family conflict, marriage/parenting challenges, and spiritual concerns. I accept clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their issues with my assistance. Some only need a few sessions, others may require longer term therapy which could last months and in some cases years, with an average of six to nine months.

The easiest way to schedule is through my website and the best contact is email. Change, although inevitable, can be difficult and feel ruthless especially when life takes a turn you don't expect. We can start feeling lost, alone and out of touch with ourselves and those around us. Each of us are vulnerable to the pain, grief and the uncertainty of the human condition. In this way, I believe we can each benefit from a safe and non-judgmental space that allows us to put our guard down and encourages us to learn, be flexible and rest more fully into the natural process of simply being ourselves and listening to our own wounds.
