Justine Booth, PLPC
Justine graduated with her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in August 2024 and earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Lesley University in 2019. Her therapy style uses creativity in a gentle but evidence-based approach to support individuals in gaining inner peace as well as a sense of belonging, purpose, and fulfillment. Within Justine’s therapeutic approach, she encourages clients to safely explore childhood experiences, behavioral patterns, unconscious conditioning, and difficult emotions to identify what may no longer be serving them and ultimately process unresolved challenges so that they can live in their potential. While Justine does specialize in working with adults with substance use, anxiety, and trauma challenges, she is experienced in supporting individuals with a variety of symptoms and disorders.
Emily Buse, MA, PLPC
A native of New Orleans, Emily Buse holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Holy Cross University. She is currently a PLPC working under the supervision of April Ivy, LPC-S. After taking some personal time to be a full time mom, she is thrilled to be back seeing clients again. She specializes in working with adults struggling mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and women’s health and, since having added motherhood to her repertoire, she has also developed a passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum.
She approaches counseling from a person-centered, eclectic and holistic perspective, using a blend of cognitive behavioral, existential, solution-focused, and psychoeducation, with an aim to create a warm and inviting space, free from judgment or expectation. She chooses to focus on clients strengths, while also identifying areas for growth so as to empower clients to overcome personal obstacles. By redirecting clients’ negative thinking patterns towards healthier outlooks, the goal of her approach is that they may learn to navigate their circumstance from a different perspective. She is steadfast in the belief that there is always hope and that no mistake in life can’t be undone.
