Which states does Justin practice in?
Justin is licensed in Oregon, Washington, Maine and Florida and treats patients who are physically located in one of those states at the time of the visit. Care is by telehealth (Zoom).
Does Justin prescribe medication?
Yes. He prescribes antidepressants, ADHD medications including stimulants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics and mild sleep medications, and benzodiazepines only as needed for panic attacks. He does not prescribe opioids or medications for substance-use treatment. Medication is always optional.
What ages does Justin see, and how involved are parents?
Children from age 5, teens, adults and older adults. For children and teens, parents are included in sessions frequently, and Justin also spends time with the young person alone. Family sessions are available for adolescents he prescribes for. He does not offer couples therapy.
How long are appointments, and how often?
The first appointment is one to two hours (often two). Follow-ups are usually an hour, or 30 minutes for medication with brief therapy. At first, visits are weekly or every other week until symptoms improve; once stable on medication, every three months at most.
How long does treatment usually last?
Typically three to six months at the shorter end and one to two years at the longer end, depending on your goals.
What is Justin's approach?
Whole-person care from a therapist who can prescribe: more time per visit, therapy in every session, careful medication when it helps, and attention to sleep, diet, exercise, stress and physical imbalances. It is practical and evidence-informed, not "woo woo".
What is the cancellation policy?
There is a $100 fee for cancellations within 24 hours or missed appointments. IntakeQ sends text reminders the day before and two hours before each visit.
How do I reach Justin between visits?
Through the secure IntakeQ messaging portal, for questions and refill requests; replies usually come within 24 hours on weekdays. For anything urgent, call or text 988, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. There is no after-hours line.
Which conditions are not a fit for this practice?
Active substance use, current psychosis, imminent risk of self-harm, or an existing standing prescription for benzodiazepines or opioids from another provider. These need a higher level of care, and Justin will help with referrals.
