Justin Dobrenz

Many people I meet with began therapy because life became overwhelming. People pleasing, perfectionism, and “holding it together” for everyone else left them at a loss. Hiding their imperfections and needs did not lead to better relationships, it actually led to more stress, worry, and feeling alone. I’ve sat with people who have difficulty knowing even the seemingly simplest things about themselves, like where they’d like to go to dinner, or what color looks good on them. All of this reflecting a deeper problem. I’m Justin, and I help people find themselves. In the midst of the chaos of life, we take the time once a week to dig into you. I’ll help you to know you and find you in the midst of your family, friends, work, and the chaos of this world. We meet online together in a setting that is convenient and confidential for you. Your dog can show up too. Take the next step to finding you. Reach out to me. I offer free 20 minute introduction sessions in order to see if we would be a good fit. If online therapy seems weird or awkward, lets meet for 20 and see how it goes. I’m down to try it out. If its not a great fit I have plenty of colleagues who I can connect you with to make sure you’re in good hands. **Specialties:** Through the Emotion Focused Therapy model I will help you to identifying triggers to emotions, meanings we make of these experiences, and how we respond to ourselves and others from this place. From this understanding we can together find different ways to communicate this with your partner, and provide compassionate understanding to yourself. **Credentials & Experience:** With over a decade of experience in the counseling field I am prepared to help you and your family through difficult times. I am licensed in both Alaska and California, and have completed additional training and supervision in Emotion Focused Therapy.
