Hello there! My name is Justin Altman, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is simple; I'm here to provide non-judgmental and positive support to my clients while occasionally applying a little gentle pressure to encourage them to grow and ultimately thrive. While my primary area of focus is working with individuals in the LGBTQ+, Polyamory/Open relationship, and Kink/BDSM communities, throughout my career I have worked with individuals from all walks of life to help them overcome the barriers keeping them from achieving their goals.
My approach
I utilize a wide range of therapy styles and techniques, including narrative, gestalt, and behavioral therapies, but I am rooted in a straightforward humanistic approach.
My focus
I have helped people from every walk of life to overcome trauma, improve their daily lives, and achieve their goals. I have extensive experience with Polyamory, Open Relationships, Kink/BDSM, and the LGBTQ+ community.
My communication style
I employ a casual, conversational style of therapy that leaves room for lots of flexibility in covering whatever comes up in a session. I tend to follow my client's lead when it comes to approaching sensitive topics, preferring to walk alongside my clients to help them through their struggles rather than seeing myself as a leader or expert.
