Justin Grotheer

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

Life has a way of bringing us to crossroads. You may be feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationship patterns, addictions, grief, or simply sensing that the life you're living no longer fits who you're becoming. Perhaps you've spent years taking care of everyone else and now find yourself wondering, "What about me?" I specialize in working with adults navigating life's transitions, especially midlife and beyond. I often describe this season as "middle-escence". Like adolescence, it can bring enormous change-changing relationships, aging parents, launching adult children, career shifts, retirement, health concerns, questions about identity, purpose, and meaning. While these transitions can feel unsettling, they also offer an opportunity for profound growth.
