Great Content

Dr. Justin brings great content with the help of his interesting guests. His questions are thoughtful and allow his guests the opportunity to tell their story. Love that mental health is normalized and talked about comfortably.

Dr. J is great!

Dr. J is one of my favorite mental health professionals to follow on social media. He always creates real and relatable content. I was so excited to hear he had a podcast, and even more excited that the first episode was with Kristen Gingrich (@notyouraveragethrpst). I can’t wait to continue to listen to all the amazing guests he has on.
