Justin Fichter, LMSW
Ever think that you are the only one out there suffering, nowhere to turn, no one to talk to, because no one will understand what you are going through? You're not alone and one of the hardest steps is reaching out and exploring the endless possibilities that await you as we explore the challenges that you face on a daily basis together, and what keeps you from reaching your full potential and never looking back. Understanding that, Justin will meet you where you are at, work with you to explore, and look at each situation in a safe environment to process and express your thoughts and feelings. Knowing that each person and situation is unique, Justin likes to utilize a combination of therapeutic approaches to include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness to assist patients with their daily struggles.
Justin feels that a strong therapist-client relationship is vital in the process of healing, and having a little understanding of who he is will only help us explore life and its challenges. After graduating high school he enlisted into the United States Marine Corps. He dedicated almost 10 years of service to our country, until he was medically retired in 2013. During that time, Justin got to explore different cultures and ways of life throughout the United States and the world to include: Japan, Thailand, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. After retiring, Justin received his Associates in Business Management along with his undergraduate degree in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology from Park University. He then went on to receive his Masters in Social Work from Edinboro University. Justin has found a passion in helping others after seeing the disparity throughout the world and seeing the struggles that individuals face on a daily basis. His work focuses on working with Adolescents and Adults who suffer from Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, PTSD, Trauma and Abuse, Career Difficulties, Life Changes, Family and Relationship Issues, Stress Management along with Self Esteem and Confidence Issues.
