Justina Williams is a great therapist. She really listens to me and helped me in my time of need. It was easy to get an appointment with her. I highly recommend seeing her for a variety of needs

I was recommended to Justina by a friend, I’ve seen several therapist in the past and none of them felt like a good fit for me. As soon as I meet Justina I felt like I finally found a doctor who cared about me and my progress mentally, she honestly goes above and beyond. In the couple months I’ve been seeing her my progress mentally has done nothing but improve, I actually look forward to our sessions. Thank you Justina, not like any therapist I’ve ever meet, you can tell she cares about her patience and their progress.

I have been working with my therapist Tess for about two and a half years. I began working with her after my previous therapist changed jobs and I was initially quite anxious to start over again with a new counselor. She made the transition so smooth for me and she immediately eased me of all my concerns. I can’t speak more highly of her- she’s always been able to strike the fine balance between encouraging me and holding me accountable for my self-effacing behavior. She’s also super flexible when it comes to scheduling in-person and online sessions. I’ve recommended Tess to several of my friends and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her in the future!

It takes a lot for me and Im sure most people to take the step to choose therapy and I felt like the whole time she was trying to figure out how to figure me out. Justina Williams could be really damaging to someone who might be in a vulnerable place and I would not recommend her to anyone. Personally I understand it was not a good fit, but I think this field is not a good fit for her because clearly she doesnt care to help people.

I have been meaning to leave a review for quite sometime now but unfortunately I haven’t had a minute to do so. I noticed some previous reviews and I feel obligated to set some things straight regarding the wellness center and one of their therapists - Justina Williams. She is by far the best therapist I have had (and I have been doing therapy sessions at a variety of locations for some years now). I obviously can’t discuss what we talk about but I can honestly say I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders when I leave our sessions. She is a very sweet individual and you can tell she genuinely cares about her profession and the people involved . It’s insulting to see what someone else keeps trying to portray her as in these “different alias’s” of reviews. As long as she is a therapist, I will not be going anywhere else. Thank you wellness center for always providing the utmost service all around !

My experience with Justina has been nothing but positive in our time together. She is personable and invests her time and energy into others and is dedicated to her clients. She goes above and beyond and is a force multiplier within her community. Would recommend her to all seeking a genuine mentor/counselor.

Justina Williams was the therapist I met twice a month. Every-time I went she would yawn and show no interest at all. She would talk about other clients problems. Isnt this confidential? She would cancel my appointments to meet with other clients that were more important than me. Just a waste of time and money. Shes a joke.

I wanted to give a quick shout out to Justina! She is a wonderful counselor, and she makes her clients feel comfortable in sharing and opening up. Justina’s wit, support, and great personality makes her a truly great person to help work through any issues or concerns.

Allison Kent is one of the most hardworking and dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As her former supervisor, she never failed to give her all in any task that was given. She brought great ideas to the table and would execute plans flawlessly. She always succeeded personal goals and worked tirelessly to help meet company standard goals. No matter what challenge is put before her, Allison will always triumph.

Review №22

I would not recommend Justina Williams to anyone!. She will cause more damaging to you than helping! ALWAYS LATE. She will forget the essential parts of your problems, instead she will start talking about herself and her views of the world which sometimes make me feel uncomfortable and waste of time!Please do yourself a favor and dont even give it a try.

Review №23

This review is for Justina Williams. This experience is one of the worst experiences I have had with therapy and I wouldnt recommend anyone to see this therapist. She has no respect for time, is extremely abrasive, is totally apathetic, and based on my experience I wonder why she decided to become a therapist because it certainly doesnt seem to be to help others.

Be
Review №24

Justina Williams’ magnetic personality and great sense of humor serves her well as a therapist. She is able to connect with her clients in a way that makes them feel safe and understood.

Allison provided support to children with type one diabetes and their family supoort. Her abilities to understand and offer support was remarkable. She met them where they were at and provided genuine care that many times gets lost in the busy case management responsibilities. If she says she says she will be there or do that, you can count on her.

Please accept this sincere shout out for Henry, aka “Coach Henry,” as our preschool daughter so fondly nicknamed him. As a globetrotting, biracial/bicultural military family, I can honestly deem Mr. Henry as not only the best counselor we’ve EVER encountered in America and overseas, but also the most practical, inclusive, engaging, knowledgeable, relevant, authentic, professional, and effective family helper we’ve ever met.As a former at risk educator for 16 years, I was seeking a counselor who was interactive, culturally responsive, open, personalized, whole child and family-friendly, experienced, fun, and hands-on. Henry delivers not all those points, but he also infuses successful, age appropriate, holistic, and sensory-based applications for kid clients and families in a signature style that is so client-centered, proactive, positive, collaborative, and ethical. He’s absolutely amazing for any families. He’s a rock star in this field!In sum, please accept our gratitude for his in-person and tele/remote/virtual sessions. He’s a blessing!

I had a very positive experience attending the Wellness Center for therapy after a recent divorce. The staff was professional, courteous and responsive to my issues at hand. I found much relief in the professional discussion focusing on healing and preparing me to balance my life. The sessions helped prepare me with a positive outlook, embracing the change and preparing me for future happiness. I would highly recommend this practice for any of your personal counseling needs.
