Getting to know Justin Ungar
Hello!
My name is Justin Ungar, and I am a licensed counselor from Connecticut. I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Connecticut State University and have 10 years of clinical experience (as of 2022). I have worked in both private practice and residential settings, addressing mental health and substance abuse issues. My experience includes working with many different types of clients, including those from "non-traditional" families and relationships.
I am a married father of five children. In my spare time, I enjoy watching horror movies and listening to heavy music.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My intention is to create a comfortable environment for my clients to express themselves honestly. You can expect there to be an emphasis on building a healthy level of self esteem and building a realistic view of the world and our place in it.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
