My name is Dr. Mara Justice, I am a Licensed Psychologist in California. I have a doctorate in Clinical Forensic Psychology and I have been working in the field of psychology for 6 years. My experience is working with adults with mood disorders and psychotic disorders by helping them understand their symptoms and develop coping skills and risk management plans. I am doing private practice part time and my availability is limited to every other Friday.
Our first session will be a brief introduction then we will dive into reviewing your symptoms and history to allow me to get a better understanding of your diagnosis and your goals for therapy.
I have experience helping individuals learn to navigate and understand their mental illness and assist them in developing skills to better manage their symptoms.
I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to better understand ways to cope with their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life.
