Therapist in Pasadena, California Justine Adelman, Therapist

Welcome and congratulations in taking the first step in the journey towards growth and empowerment for you and your family. My name is Justine Adelman, LMFT, and I am here to tell you that you are not alone. Whether you or your family member is struggling with anxiety, trauma, child-parent relational issues, anger management, behavior issues, parenting struggles, grief/loss, autism, ADHD, OCD or postpartum depression to name a few, we are in this together.
My passion is in helping children, adolescents and families. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and I would love to be part of your village. I use a family-systems approach in which I help you and your child work together to better communicate. I utilize evidenced-based practices such as Play Therapy, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Parenting Practices and Infant Massage. I love to support people with building on their own strengths.
I earned my Master of Science degree from California State University, Los Angeles, where I double majored in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling. I have worked in elementary, middle and high school settings, in non-profit mental health clinics and residential treatment centers. I have worked with children as young as a few days old as well as teenagers and parents. I would love to work together to support you and your family, too.
