- “Justin is fantastic. He's really nice, responsive, and caring. I also really appreciate his flexibility. The other thing I really like about Justin is that this is what he wants to do. In fact, it was as a second career for him—i.e., something he really wanted to do and had to make the effort to transition into. You feel that difference. But also it has been really helpful for me because I’m trying to transition into a second career—something I want to do and is hard and scary to transition into.”
- “Justin is kind, attentive and helps you focus on your goals. He uses real life examples like movies or books that puts things into perspective if you are having a hard time understanding. He is incredibly helpful.”
- “Great guy”
- “Justin is great all around. Attentive listener, offers insightful feedback! Excellent!”
- “He is a calm and kind person who uses well-studied methods to implement solutions. He also considers what’s happening week by week in case there’s something pressing to address. Overall, he’s a fantastic therapist.”
- “I highly recommend Justin as a therapist. He is an excellent listener who creates a calm, supportive space that makes it easier to open up. In just a few sessions, he has helped me see things about myself more clearly by offering thoughtful, well-timed prompts and constructive directions for reflection.<br /> <br /> Justin is both insightful and genuinely understanding, and he is also very responsive when communicating between sessions. I’ve found his approach to be grounding, practical, and deeply helpful in moving my work forward.”
