Trauma-Focused Counseling

Justin Eastland, LMSW, provides trauma-focused counseling for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity questions, and relational complexity. Sessions are private-pay, which means your treatment plan is shaped by your needs rather than an insurance company's requirements.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Justin's clinical training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver with a focus on Mental Health and Trauma. Sessions draw on several evidence-based approaches:

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), certified
• Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT, Level 1)

Sessions also incorporate Polyvagal Theory, which proposes that the human nervous system responds to cues of safety and danger in ways that shape emotional regulation. Neuroplasticity research suggests that repeated, intentional practice changes how the brain responds over time. This principle informs the behavioral work in counseling.

What to Expect

The first session focuses on establishing trust and determining fit. The work itself is difficult, and that trust needs to be genuinely felt before anything meaningful can happen. You will leave with a clearer sense of whether this is the right fit.

Justin's clinical work also addresses neurodivergence (ADHD and autism spectrum), couples and family systems, and integrative mental health. Identity and relational work are part of the clinical space.
