Justine Alemany, LCSW

Justine Alemany brings six years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across school, inpatient, outpatient, residential, and advocacy settings. She began her training as a graduate intern at an elementary school in Boston, then completed a second-year internship in Worcester through UMASS Medical School at an inpatient program for adolescents with severe and pervasive mental illnesses. There she worked with youth who had histories of trauma and abuse and diagnoses such as schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety, and she provided counseling and psychoeducation to families.

After relocating to Florida, she spent time in outpatient and residential substance use treatment settings, supporting adult women facing addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. In 2019 she joined a Children’s Advocacy Center where she has continued to serve children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, life transitions, and questions about sexuality.

Her primary focus is helping people work through trauma and manage major life changes using practical tools and supportive guidance. She works in both English and Spanish. Justine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida - a professional license for clinical social work - and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), a credential that reflects specialized training in trauma treatment. She uses an eclectic, client-centered approach and commonly incorporates trauma-focused methods such as EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and DBT to build coping skills and emotion regulation tailored to each person’s needs.
