My name is Justin, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a Nationally Board Certified Counselor with the NBCC. I have been working in the helping field since 2013. I have had a wide range of experience in this time working with diverse populations. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, traumatic stress, relationships, and men’s issues. I provide individual counseling, substance abuse counseling, group counseling, as well as couples/family counseling. I utilize evidence-based practices (Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Reality Theory, Gottman method, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing etc.). Life inevitably presents us with challenges, some larger than others. It is how we tap into our resiliency and take ownership for our lives that determines how effective we feel. Everyone at one point or another experiences feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, confusion, isolation, anger, fear and anxiety. It is not about how we banish these feelings but rather how we learn to cope with them, forgive ourselves and others, and take control of our lives back.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Georgia, with 21 years of professional work experience. I believe that within a strong, collaborative relationship, problem-focused therapeutic goals can be reached in a timely manner. I see adolescents and young adults with a variety of presenting problems, including: anxiety, depression, stress and coping, inattention and distractibility, motivation and self-esteem, relational difficulties, life changes, and the complicated interaction between managing a chronic medical condition and maintaining psychological well being. I am a proponent of researched based, yet psychodynamically informed, psychotherapy. This means that we may explore the past a bit, in order to discover what is blocking the ability to acquire or integrate newly learned coping skills here and now. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change.
