About Justine
Hi there! ¡Hola hablo Español! I started my career as a therapist as a graduate intern at an elementary school in Boston, Massachusetts. The passion I had to help children and different struggles drove me to help other populations. My second year internship was in Worcester, Massachusetts through UMASS Medical school at an inpatient hospital for adolescents with severe and pervasive mental illnesses. Most of these adolescents stayed for a minimum of 6 months and had a history of trauma and abuse, Schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. I was also able to work with their families proving counseling, psycho-education, support, etc. I moved back to my home state of Florida to begin a new path of working in an outpatient and residential substance use clinic for adults. I spent 2 years working with adult females struggling with substance use, trauma, mental illnesses (e.g depression, anxiety, trauma, and Bipolar Disorder). I ended up starting a more permanent path in 2019 at a Children's Advocacy Center. I see children, adolescents, and adults struggling with various forms of trauma. Most of my clients are victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence, struggling with grief/loss, struggling with life changes, sexuality, etc. I have worked with a variety of populations in the past but my main focus are individuals dealing with any form of trauma and coping with life changes. Fortunately, these situations can be worked through with the proper tools, support, and a helping professional. Therapy can be extremely beneficial in addressing these struggles. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the state of Florida. I use an eclectic approach of using a variety of different therapy modalities that can be used and applied for different struggles. One therapy approach is not a one size fits all. I use what is best for you and your needs! However, I am more prone to use trauma focused therapy approaches such as EMDR, TF-CBT, and DBT. However, all of these modalities help individuals use coping skills, emotion regulation, etc. that can be applied for everyday use. Read more Show less
