Justine Grosso
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
Integrative, somatic, trauma-informed psychotherapy. "You're not broken, your nervous system is trying to protect you."
My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and research-based. I integrate somatic (body-based) modalities (i.e., Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trauma-informed yoga), mindfulness-based approaches (i.e., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion), and Brene Brown’s Shame Resilience Theory. After an initial interview and developing goals to work towards over our first several sessions, we work collaboratively to identify unhelpful habit patterns that get in the way of your goals. My clients are motivated to make changes and often practice between-session homework, including self-awareness logs, mindfulness practices, and meditation, in order to practice new ways of being.
