Ms. Justine is hands down, one of the best counselors I have ever encountered in my 41 years on this earth! She provided the care, attention, and genuine concern that I needed, all while showing equal treatment to a full group. She is humble, kind, intelligent, selfless, and extremely professional. but don't lie to her because she will call you on your bullshit! She played a big part in the reason why I am 120 days sober today. In a nutshell, she saved my life, and I not have enough time in this life to repay her.
