Hello, I'm Dr. Justin Harley, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 19 years of experience. I hold a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Regent University.
My approach
In my practice, I draw from various therapeutic approaches based on each client's unique needs. I am proficient in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), among other treatment modalities. By tailoring my approach to the specific concerns and goals of my clients, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for inner healing and personal growth.
My focus
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults of all ages, couples, and families. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders such as PTSD. I also enjoy coaching parents who need additional skills to help manage emotional or behavioral problems with their children. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy specifically tailored ftoeach client's unique needs.
My communication style
During our sessions, you can expect a warm and empathetic atmosphere where you are truly heard and understood. I believe in fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to empower you with effective coping strategies, insights, and tools that can lead to positive change and a greater sense of well-being.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist started with a deep passion for understanding and supporting individuals facing mental and emotional struggles. Witnessing the transformative power of therapy and the positive impact, it can have on people's lives motivated me to pursue a career in this field. It is incredibly rewarding to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
My goals for you
From the first session and during each following session, we will work together as a team to establish and revise goals that meet your needs. Through ongoing dialogue and assessment, we will adapt the treatment plan as needed to support your progress and address any challenges that arise. My goal is to empower you to take ownership of your therapeutic journey and achieve meaningful growth and improvement in your life.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will begin by discussing your reasons for seeking counseling and conducting a comprehensive assessment. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values. Throughout our work together, I will be there to support and guide you on your journey toward wellness and growth.
