Justin Tobin, LCSW
Clinical Education
Justin received his clinical education from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri (1999) and brings over twenty years of experience working with children, adults, and couples. His therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (challenging negative and unhelpful thoughts), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (accepting emotions without judgment), Mindfulness (staying present focused) and Solution-Focused Therapy (practical steps in reaching goals).
Who I Work With
I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions and adjustments. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, irritability, or a persistent sense of feeling stuck, particularly when they know something needs to change but are unsure how to move forward. I frequently help couples who feel stuck in recurring patterns, struggle with communication, or find themselves having the same conflicts without resolution.
What Clients Can Expect in Therapy
My warmth and sincerity is blended with being direct and challenging. I take an active and engaged role in each therapy session. My approach encourages clients to uncover their core motivation for change and develop actionable steps they can work on between sessions. No matter the goal, clients are guided to tap into the motivation needed to move forward.
A Little More About Me
I live in Chicago with my wife, toddler and dog. Outside of work, we love to explore museums, spending time at the playground and playing board games. I practice mindfulness daily, working out at the gym, playing poker, reading and recently found joy in reconnecting with the cello.
