Come to Understand the Real You.
Compassionate, personalized psychotherapy to help you navigate life's challenges, understand yourself more deeply, and create meaningful change.
Therapy tailored specifically to you.
I believe therapy should be as unique as the person seeking it. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, relationship challenges, major life changes, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, therapy offers an opportunity to explore your experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
My approach is grounded in caring, curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Together, we'll work to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, helping you develop a more meaningful relationship with yourself and the world around you.
Therapy isn't about changing who you are. It's about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and finding ways to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Each session is approached specifically with values of caring, curiosity, compassion, and collaboration resulting in an individualized approach to your needs.
Hi, I'm Justin Hersom.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate emotional challenges, difficult experiences, relationships, and life transitions.
I believe therapy works best when it's built on trust, genuine curiosity, and collaboration. My role isn't to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand yourself, your experiences, and what matters most to you.
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling that something in your life needs attention, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
— Viktor Frankl
Do you sometimes feel as if your thoughts and emotions own you?
Do you feel overwhelmed by them?
Finding a different way to move forward
As your therapist, my goal is to work along side with you to help you gain a deeper understanding of your experiences and not feel controlled by them.
Establishing a caring, curious, compassionate, and collaborative environment will help you transform how you relate to your thoughts and emotions.
Above all, I want to help you discover how you can have a more meaningful and fulfilling relationship with all aspects of yourself.
