Getting to know Justen Wiggins
Justen Wiggins, LCSW, holds a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I use a CBT-based mindfulness approach and bring 20 years of experience as a retired military service member. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy addressing PTSD, moral injury, co-occurring substance use disorders, behavioral issues, and applying life balance strategies.
My approach centers on mindfulness-based CBT, focusing on overcoming trauma barriers to well-being and enhancing effective coping strategies while incorporating healthy lifestyle changes.
My focus is on Military Veterans, First Responders, and their families, with expertise in co-occurring substance use and other disorders such as PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety.
My communication style is understanding, empathetic, supportive, and genuine.
My journey to mental healthcare began as a 20-year retired Service Member. Toward the end of my career, I faced many personal struggles and was supported by a close friend who recommended I consider clinical social work based on his professional experiences with me and how I cared for my subordinates. Having personally experienced the challenges this community faces, I have a deep desire to be available for those seeking help navigating these issues.
My goals for you are client-led; you will guide the discovery, interpretation, and path to accomplishing your goals. These goals will be based on the SMART model and monitored or updated as you progress.
In our first session, we will focus on introduction and rapport building, complete a thorough assessment and review your treatment history, and begin exploring the goals you want to address in your treatment plan.
