Justin Szela, LCSW, MSW

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Arizona, providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults and couples. My focus is on helping individuals navigate trauma, substance use, and a wide range of mental health challenges in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment.

My approach is grounded in understanding how past experiences influence present emotions, behaviors, relationships, and stress responses. Together, we work to uncover patterns, build insight, and create meaningful change.
