About Justin
Dr. Justin Lutz welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about themselves. He acknowledges how daunting the first step can be and recognizes the courage it takes to reach out for help. He aims to create an easy first conversation so people can decide if he feels like the right fit.
He works with teens and adults on issues such as substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and self esteem. He also supports people exploring gender and sexual identity within the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Sessions emphasize clear goals and changes that matter in daily life.
In session he brings warmth, compassion, and empathy. He builds a nonjudgmental space where people can talk openly and start to rewrite their personal story. The work often focuses on shifting emotional patterns and improving how someone handles stress at home, work, or in relationships.
His background includes extensive clinical training and more than two decades of experience, including work with system-impacted teenagers involved in juvenile justice. That history informs a practical approach to crisis, trauma, and behavior change.
People who choose him can expect an approach that mixes client-centered conversation with practical tools. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to help people identify unhelpful habits and try new ways of coping.
If you want to learn more, he suggests a brief phone consultation to share what is bringing you to therapy and to answer questions about the process.
