About Me

​I (Justine Herbert) obtained a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I am an Idaho State licensed Counselor LPC – #8606. I spent about 4 years as a school counselor in Washington state at the Elementary and Middle schools levels. My background includes work with kids with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum, suicidal ideations, drug and alcohol issues, personality disorders, grief and loss. I appreciate being in the schools to better understand the whole child. Children spend a significant time at school and test out boundaries, social relationships as well as most often or not have trust in the environment. I also appreciate working with the Teachers and Staff to better know my clients and their behaviors. Most importantly, I appreciate bridging the gap between school and home working with parents, educating best practices, and working to find common ground and a healing path together.
​
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Play and Solution Focused Therapy. I tend to draw from Positive Psychology and Mindfulness practices. I believe in the use of therapy to empower individuals to find mental and emotional well-being. I believe we never stop learning so I am always eager to learn new and creative ways to help my clients and their surrounding people.
