Blue Aspen does not accept or work with any insurance companies directly but can provide a monthly receipt to submit to your insurance provider if you have out-of-network (OON) benefits. Courtesy billing is offered by request. It is your responsibility to verify your insurance benefits. Use this guide as a tool when contacting your insurance provider. Alternatively, clients can opt not to use any OON benefits. It should be noted that clients using OON coverage will have a mental health diagnosis that your insurance will request.
Hello,
I’m Justine.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ and VT, and I absolutely love what I do.
I have a unique opportunity to spend my days connecting with children, teens, and adults who need support and a safe space to process, learn, and align with their true selves. My genuine approach allows clients to feel comfortable enough to do the work of healing and growing.
I also work alongside a small team of skilled clinicians who share the same values and commitment to providing thoughtful, compassionate care.
Deciding to start therapy isn’t always easy, and I commend everyone who takes that first step. We all deserve to feel aligned with our true selves, and I’m grateful to be able to accompany you or your child on the journey.
