Marcus Counseling

Justin Marcus, LCSW, is a compassionate and warm therapist who believes that meaningful change begins with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. He strives to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel understood, valued, and comfortable being themselves. Justin places a strong emphasis on building genuine working relationships with his clients and meeting each person with empathy, curiosity, and respect. Justin is formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He practices eclectically, drawing from these and other therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs, goals, personality, and circumstances. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Justin collaborates with clients to identify what works best for them and incorporates practical, evidence-informed strategies into the therapeutic process. Justin has advanced training and a particular interest in working with ADHD and neurodivergence, with an emphasis on helping clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, and navigate the challenges that can accompany these experiences. He also has special interests in working with social anxiety, depression, mood and adjustment disorders, self-esteem, life stressors and transitions, and the unique experiences of student athletes. Justin works with adolescents and adults, supporting clients through a wide range of personal, academic, social, and life challenges. He understands that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and he works to make the process approachable, collaborative, and individualized. His goal is to help clients develop greater self-understanding, build confidence, navigate difficult emotions and circumstances, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with who they are. Justin is based in both Morristown and Jersey City, NJ offering in person and virtual appointments.
