Greetings! Thanks for visiting my page. Here's a little about me: I was born in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic. My family and I migrated to the USA in 1995. I have two siblings. My journey towards Ph.D. started with a desire to teach and train other professionals in the field. As an author and presenter, I have traveled to various countries exposing my ideas on the topic of heartbreak and how therapists can help clients who experience this phenomenon. As a therapist, I view life as a big puzzle, which we must put together piece by piece. Sometimes, we get stuck in the puzzle. My job as a therapist is to sit with you and help you figure out which piece goes next.

Hello! Welcome to the BetterHelp Community! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience working as a therapist. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Master in Social Work. I am passionate about supporting people in accomplishing their goals and finding solutions to the challenges they may be facing. Throughout my experience, I have worked with adult individuals, couples, and families that are experiencing a variety of different problems. I have worked with those struggling with various addictions, mental health diagnoses, physical health conditions, trauma, and varying life problems. I view the therapeutic relationship as the most important aspect of counseling. We will work together as a team and you are the expert of your own unique, life experiences. Former clients have mentioned to me in the past that when working with me, they feel understood and don't feel judged. I treat each individual with respect, compassion, and acceptance. I take an empathetic and patient approach when working with my clients. Everyone's problems are different and my counseling style will be tailored to fit your individual needs to progress through your identified treatment goals. I will spend time asking you questions to get to know you better and to improve my understanding of your own personal experiences. This information is important in building the therapeutic relationship and to discuss your goals for counseling. I may assign "homework" in-between our sessions to reinforce skills or topics of our conversations. These homework assignments may include techniques to practice, completing worksheets, or thinking and writing exercises. I commend you for taking the vulnerable step toward seeking help. Change can be very scary and overwhelming however, can open the door to endless opportunities to empower and improve your life. I would love to help and support you on your journey to overcome these challenges. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Justine Nyman. I want to thank you for taking the time to seek support. It is not easy to reach out or even realize that counseling/support is needed. So, I welcome you to therapy. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I have 9 years' experience and continue to grow in my therapeutic approaches and my knowledge as a therapist. I have familiarity through group counseling and individual counseling for both mental health and dual diagnosis. My approaches vary per the clients' specific needs. I am familiar and utilize the cognitive behavioral approach, dialectical behavioral therapeutic approach, mindfulness therapies, positive psychology, and do incorporate some solution focused therapy depending on the client's needs. My specialties' include: depression, anxiety/stress management, bipolar disorder, substance use recovery, self0-esteem/confidence, and many other areas of expertise. I create a very warm and non-judgmental environment where the client feels comfortable and open to emotional vulnerability. In order to express ourselves and be open with our struggles we need to feel comfortable in the therapeutic process. I use acceptance with my clients and don't judge them based on their history or their current choices. I want the client to feel comfortable, so they can start their journey, set goals, use coping skills, and improve their overall well-being. Counseling is a process and takes time. Some individuals require more time than others and that is okay. I believe in moving with the pace of the client, through setting goals and practicing tools is essential for change. In order to feel change, we need to make changes in our everyday lives. If we don't initiate changes, it becomes a struggle to move forward. "Practice makes permanent" I look forward to working with you on your journey of growth, mastery, and success.
