DR. JUSTINE CHATTERTON

Psychotherapy / Collaborative Psychological Assessment

Licensed Psychologist

Dr. Justine Chatterton received her PhD in psychology from the University of North Texas and completed her internship and fellowship at the Institute of Living in Hartford, CT. Dr. Chatterton describes her approach this way: My approach to therapy is attachment-based with an experiential focus. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective therapy.

Psychotherapy
I have a special interest in trauma healing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and mind-body integration. Working with me in therapy will likely involve a look at how your early experiences impact you as an adult.

I also have expertise in working with pregnant and postpartum women related to specific mental health concerns that are common during these important transitions. In particular, mood, relational conflict, and our own experiences of being parented often add to the stress of becoming a parent. Psychotherapy can be a useful tool during this time of life.

My style is often described as relaxed and kind while still challenging you to take on the changes and areas of growth that you hope for. I use experiential approaches to help people learn new ways of being in their lives and relationships.

Collaborative Psychological Assessment
Collaborative or therapeutic assessment is an innovative approach to psychological testing which relies on collaboration between the assessor, client, and therapist (if applicable). The goal of a collaborative/therapeutic assessment is to help clients better understand themselves and move forward in healing and successful living. The assessment is used as a brief therapeutic intervention. Research shows benefits include: improved self-esteem, increased hopefulness about problems, decreased symptoms, and better compliance with ongoing treatment. The process is tailored to your needs and unique for everyone, so please contact me to see if this could be the right next step for you. To find out more, please visit www.therapeuticassessment.net

Scheduling
If you are a new client, please schedule yourself online for a phone call and we can talk through the process for beginning therapy.

After you have started therapy, feel free to use the online scheduling system to book your appointments.

I look forward to being of service on your journey to healing.
