Justin Stargaard
I am employed as a dual licensed therapist (MFT & LPCC) practicing in Fresno, California. I primarily serve our local community through a physical office and also provide group therapy with the sexual offender population. I'd consider the work with offenders offers me some insight related to grooming, porn consumption, offending cycle, and of benefit to parents who want to protect their kids, survivors who want to assert against future grooming, and general content around dating healthy in the digital age. Call/text (559) 242-6670 to speak directly to me. Theoretical models I apply include a cognitive behavioral model emphasizing how we can use behavior to get the changes you want. In practice, I've found this model to be accessible for first time clients, offer a practical conceptualization of therapy work, and all while offering an ease of going "deeper" as work may incorporate childhood experiences, attachment, and present day relational dynamics/transference. When I work with couples/families I utilize a structural model which emphasizes getting parents on the same team and building a functional hierarchy for the family unit. I emphasize the need for structure within the family, based on my work in-home with resource families, foster kids, and the consequences related to not having a constructive structure in the home. On the clinical side, every client will be offered a review of their treatment plan and asked for feedback which eliminates the mystery of therapy and ensures focus to the work by clearly defining goals and interventions. I have not seen it all but I have seen a lot. I've been working in mental health since I was 19 years old and learned a lot from all places I have been and people I have met. If you are interested, I welcome consults 24/7. Call/text: (559) 242-6670
