Getting to know Dr. Justin Birnholz

My name is Justin Birnholz, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience. I specialize in LGBTQ issues, OCD, psychosis, panic attacks, and personality disorders. I provide individual and couples therapy using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and skills. My approach I'm trained and certified in several CBT modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. I am collaborative, culturally humble, multicultural aware, and highly methodical in my approach. My focus I enjoy working with sexual and gender minority folks, helping them do more than accept themselves-to truly love themselves. I also specialize in treatments for anxiety disorders such as OCD and panic disorders. Having worked with adolescents and adults across many clinical environments (e.g., hospitals, community mental health centers, the VA), I'm comfortable working with anyone with any diagnosis. I can help you, whoever you are, and whatever is going on. My communication style I'm professional and, I like to think, warm and funny in my communication style. As a DBT practitioner, I've learned how to be direct and honest without being aggressive or insulting. Working with me, you'll know that I genuinely care-and that I think I'm very funny, and frankly, I am. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up with a disability made me compassionate and interested in anyone who may be struggling. I had the luxury of a lot of help during my most stressful times, and when I got through my worst year, I knew I wanted to help others succeed as I did. I took my first psychology class in 1998 and knew that was how I was going to help people. I love what I do!
