ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
Justin has been working with Dr. Kerner as a Doctoral Student Psychotherapy Intern since 2018. He practices therapy from a client-centered orientation and social justice framework, integrating Interpersonal Process Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Therapy approaches. Justin supports his clients to observe with curiosity themselves, their lived experiences, and their patterns of navigating life and relationships. He uses his warmth, humor, and authenticity as tools to support the development of a safe and fostering therapeutic alliance. With intention, he guides his clients through the process of therapy supporting them to make the most of their experience. In July 2022, Justin completed a year-long predoctoral internship at Miami University’s Student Counseling Service in Ohio. He has since returned to Montreal and will resume seeing clients under Dr. Kerner’s supervision in August 2023.
