Justine Alemany, LCSW

Justine Alemany is a Florida-based clinician who began her counseling career as a graduate intern in an elementary school in Boston and continued training with an inpatient adolescent unit through UMASS Medical School in Worcester. In those early roles she worked closely with children, adolescents, and their families to address complex presentations including trauma, severe mental illness, depression, and anxiety, often supporting long-term treatment stays and family education.

After returning to Florida, she spent time in outpatient and residential substance use treatment settings working primarily with adult women facing addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mood and anxiety disorders. Since 2019 she has worked at a Children's Advocacy Center providing care for children, teens, and adults impacted by various forms of trauma. Her clinical experience includes supporting survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence as well as people coping with grief, sexuality concerns, and major life transitions.

Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in Florida - credentials that reflect advanced training in clinical social work and trauma-focused care. She uses an eclectic, client-centered approach and favors trauma-focused methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build coping skills and emotion regulation strategies tailored to each person's needs.
