Hi ! I am Justine Hale. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City. I completed my undergraduate at John Jay College. I attended NYU for my Masters. I have 8 years in the Human Service field, with 3 of those years being exclusive to being a therapist. I utilize an integrative approach with clients, framing therapy based on an individual’s needs at that time.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I open up with introductions and check-ins. We will speak about confidentiality, along with expectations for therapy. We will discuss whaat led you to therapy at this time as well as exploring intitial goals. My goal for the first session is to provide a comforting, safe space.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a clinician, I understand that attending therapy can be a difficult step, so I emphasize the therapeutic relationship- aiming to create a safe and supportive space for all. I am a LGBTQI+ ally who takes a holistic approach, acknowledging all factors related to an individual. I recognize that every individual is different, and by meeting with me, I will work collaboratively to help foster the best self-growth environment.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have experience with different populations, working with adults, children, families and couples. I typically meet with individuals entering therapy for the first time. However, I am still open to meeting with individuals who has been in therapy previously.
