Justin is a master’s-level, pre-licensed therapist who provides individual therapy to teenagers, young adults, and adults from ages 14 to 70. He earned his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Holy Family University and is currently working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

He is passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges and feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and choices. Whether someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, Justin offers a safe, supportive space to explore and grow—at the client’s pace and on their terms.

His approach is person-centered, practical, and rooted in evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He has received direct training from the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which continues to inform how he helps clients understand and shift their thoughts and behaviors.

Before becoming a therapist, Justin worked as a behavior technician, supporting young adults and families in their homes. That experience taught him the importance of meeting people where they are—both literally and emotionally.

Today, he brings that same mindset into his therapy practice by blending structured therapeutic techniques with a conversational, down-to-earth style. He often incorporates humor, hands-on activities, real-life examples, and, most importantly, collaboration with his clients to keep the process approachable and produce meaningful results.

I am a clinical psychologist who believes in an individualized and therapeutic approach to neuropsychological assessment. Over the years, I have gained experience working with a range of neurologic issues, including brain injury and dementia, in addition to psychological concerns and neurodevelopmental conditions. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Master of Arts degree from Widener University, with a certificate of training in Neuropsychology. I completed my predoctoral internships at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Clinical Neuropsychology Associates, and my postdoctoral fellowship at RSM Psychology Center and The Sports Concussion Center of New Jersey. I have received training in a range of settings, including post-acute rehabilitation, inpatient/hospital settings, and private practice/outpatient clinic, but find myself most drawn to private practice and the flexibility it affords in providing compassionate care. I believe in ongoing professional education

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in clinical neuropsychology. I received a Master’s degree in Psychological Science from the University of Limerick and then obtained an additional Master’s degree and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University New England. Throughout my training, I have worked with individuals throughout the lifespan in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, an acute rehabilitation hospital, and a partial hospital. I completed my predoctoral internship at Geisinger Medical Center and then stayed on for my postdoctoral neuropsychology fellowship. While at Geisinger, I had the opportunity to work in several multidisciplinary specialty clinics, including the Post-ICU Delirium Clinic and the Memory and Cognition Clinic. Outside of clinical work, I am a member of several professional organizations.
