My work with Justin really helped me grow as a person. He did a great job of breaking down specific things to improve on, while keeping the big picture in sight as well. Everything was broken down into small steps to keep it from getting overwhelming, which led to great improvements over the long term. Overall, working with Justin was a pleasure.

Justin is thoughtful with his approach, knowledgeable, and patient. He has connected with my son where others have not. I’ve noticed a significant and sustained improvement in the way my son communicates with us as parents since talking to Justin. We are grateful to have Justin as a valuable resource during these high school years.

Alexa created a safe environment for me to say and be whoever I wanted. I looked forward to seeing her every time. She makes you feel comfortable to share things with her, when it is difficult sometimes. She always says things how they are with honesty and provides an unbias opinion. Personally, she helped me navigate many big life choices. I would recommend Alexa to anyone seeking genuine, kind, and professional guidance.

Justin was fully available to our family when we reached out for assistance for our teen son. He listened to all of our concerns and was able to meet our son where he was and communicate in a truthful and direct manner. Justin is able to maintain the balance of being thoughtful and caring combined with presenting some hard truths and challenging both our son and us as parents. We especially appreciate his direct and constructive tools he offered.

My time spent with Justin was invaluable, really. He helped me navigate several challenging parts of life at once, without ever making me feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable. He was just the person I needed to help me see things in a different light - offering reframing that has served me very well. Throughout the process, I felt more than just safe and understood — I felt validated, which helped me open up more than I had been able to with previous counselors.
I learned how to put concepts into action, which in turn, helped me improve my confidence and sense of self. His insight and encouragement helped me make real progress that I was struggling to find before.
