Hello! My name is Justin Ungar, and I am a licensed counselor from Connecticut. I have a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling and 10 years of clinical experience (as of 2022). I have experience in both private practice and in residential settings for both mental heath and substance abuse related issues. I have experience with many different types of clients including those with "non-traditional" families and relationships. I am a married father of 5 children. In my spare time I like to watch horror movies and listen to heavy music. I pride myself on being well rounded and accepting.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Open communication and honesty are all that is needed to begin therapy
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I believe in taking a motivational interviewing approach. I can be very person centered, and when necessary i take a solition focused approach. I will pull from my experience with CBT, DBT, and Reality therapy as needed.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths include being a great listener and having an appropriate sense of humor. I can also be very honest when situations call for that approach. I believe my biggest strength is my ability to make others feel comfortable.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Because I have positioned myself as a well rounded therapist, I am best positioned to serve clients who are willing to honestly explore their own lives.
