Meet Justin O’Hea, LCSW, :

Hello! I’m a therapist at Olive Branch Therapy Group and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my undergraduate degree from East Stroudsburg University and my graduate degree from Kean University with national honors. I graduated with a Masters in Clinical Social Work.

My Therapy Specialties:

I work with adolescents, teens and adults providing PTSD/trauma therapy, mindful self-compassion therapy, CBT and DBT for depression, bipolar, anxiety, PTSD, grief, adjustment disorders, dysregulation disorders and personality disorders, CBT for psychosis, and nurtured heart approach for adolescents and teens with behavioral challenges.

What drew me to this work:

I view therapy as sacred through personal and shared experience. I have always been someone that people seek out for advice. I also saw the struggles of those around me with mental health, addictions, and disabilities, and various hardships which always made me driven to be of help in any way I could. 

My style:

I am gentle and supportive, and I am also direct, firm, grounded, and realistic in my approach. I am a consistent and assertive clinician. I treat my clients like I would treat myself if I were in their situation, with respect, dignity, and hope. I like to make people think,  engage in deep self-reflection, and to work towards acceptance and change. There is also always room for humor and a good laugh, we can’t take ourselves too seriously!

A Little About Me:

I love the culinary arts, the outdoors, and listening to everything from heavy metal to jazz music. I love challenges. I like philosophy, cultural anthropology, and anything that makes me think. 

Services I offer:

In-person individual and couples therapy.
