I am a clinical social worker licensed in New York. I have over 15 years of experience providing counseling and therapy to adults, parents, teenagers and families with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, family conflict, parenting problems, and relationship issues.
I have a wellness-oriented, strengths-based approach to working with people. I believe that we all have problems in living and can benefit from the support of an empathic therapist who listens attentively and can provide insight as well as practical suggestions for coping and moving forward.
It's great that you are reaching out and seeking help, as I know that this isn't always an easy step to take. I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your concerns, and working together to understand what can be helpful to you at this time.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Justine Gottlieb. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Justine is the first therapist in my 50+ years that actually asks questions and expresses herself that she really wants to know what’s going on in my life.

I only had 2 sessions with Justine. During those 2 sessions she helped me to think about who I am and what would be good for me and my troubled marriage. Her reassurance and non judgmental approach made me feel I could share anything. She recommended couples therapy and that is exactly what we will be doing.
