I practice as a dual licensed therapist (MFT & LPCC) in Fresno, California and offering online service via Grow. Call me for consult at (559) 242-6670 or inquire at: Justin@Stargaardtherapy.com Before joining Grow, I served my local community in Fresno for six years with a private office and also provided on site therapy with sex offenders via containment model. I've worked with survivors of various traumas & family dysfunctions, depression, anxiety, life stressors, co-parenting dynamics, anger issues, and a whole host of content that brings one to seeking therapy. As far as specialty, I am certified as an independent provider with California's sex offender management board and trained in areas surrounding sexual abuse, offending, and how therapy is rendered based on reducing risk. At present, I offer my expertise in this area specifically to parents who want to protect their kids, survivors who want to assert against future grooming/victimization, and to clinicians interested in need of consult around this area. Theoretical models I apply with individuals, include a cognitive behavioral model emphasizing using behavior to get the changes you want. In practice, I've found this model to be accessible for first time clients, offer a practical conceptualization of therapy work, and all while offering an ease of going "deeper" as work may incorporate childhood experiences, attachment, relational dynamics, and in room transference. When I work with couples/families I utilize a structural model which emphasizes getting parents on the same team and building a functional hierarchy for the family unit. I've seen first hand how much smoother a family can run when mom and dad work together and own their home. I welcome consults and questions 24/7. Call/text: (559) 242-6670. Thanks for taking the time to consider booking.
