(he/him)
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.
Open communication and honesty are all that is needed to begin therapy
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.
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.
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.
