Cynthia Justice

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, with more than 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I began my career providing substance use treatment to women and have since worked across a broad range of mental health settings.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with children, women, and men experiencing a variety of mental health and life challenges, including substance use, trauma, and other behavioral health concerns. I have also provided support to survivors of human trafficking and individuals experiencing crisis.

Most recently, I have served in a leadership role managing a Crisis Center, where I have supported individuals during some of the most difficult and vulnerable moments of their lives. My diverse experience has shaped my belief that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves and working toward meaningful change.

My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, solution-focused, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other techniques. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and that therapy is most effective when we build on the strengths, skills, and resilience they already possess. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their goals, explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors that may be creating challenges, and develop practical strategies for positive change. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and encouraged as they work toward greater well-being and meaningful change.

During our first session, we will take some time to get to know one another and discuss what brings you to therapy. I will gather some background information and learn more about your current concerns, challenges, strengths, and goals. We will work together to identify what you would like to accomplish through therapy and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and respected. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you while beginning to identify practical steps toward positive change.
