Justine Moritz

Justine Moritz is a Registered Social Worker who received her Master’s degree from McMaster University, and her Executive Certificate in Conflict Management from the University of Windsor, Faculty of Law. She currently works in private practice supporting individuals, adolescents (ages 15+), and couples through a variety of life challenges.

Justine has worked with diverse client groups in many capacities and contexts. She has delivered trauma-informed, strength-based counseling to incarcerated men, women, victims of violence and human trafficking. Justine has experience providing conflict resolution skills to marginalized youth involved in the youth criminal justice system, and teaching workshops on conflict resolution, negotiation, and how to have difficult conversations.

She works with life concerns such as break-ups, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, anger, self-concept/self-esteem, trauma, vicarious trauma, addiction/substance use, life transitions, interpersonal and communication challenges. Justine takes a relational, strength-based, client centered approach to therapy. She believes people are the experts in their own lives, and every person’s journey and experiences are unique to them. Justine pulls from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative/Arts-based therapeutic modalities.

Justine’s approach to therapy is gracious and direct. She aims to balance compassion with thoughtful challenge, creating a space where clients feel supported while also being encouraged to examine patterns and perspectives that may be limiting their growth.

Justine values humor and comedy and is a graduate of Second City’s Improvisation Conservatory Program. In her free time, Justine enjoys going on hikes with her giant sweet dog, exercising, writing, and trying out new recipes.

Justine is a Registered Social Worker and is part of the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

Justine Moritz works at the Oakville Location and offers virtual services throughout Ontario.
