Justin Bender, LPC

He is loyal to only those who write the checks. I went to him previously at his old location at Comprehensive Med Psych in Mobile. I made the mistake of trusting him and only made my life tremendously worse by justifying my narcissistic mother behaviour and every time I would bring up something that hurt or upset me, he would basically just tell me that I have no say in my mental health because that's my mom and his only advice for feeling better was just hit the gym and hope for the best. My parents do not medicate yet he wanted me to try many different medications instead of addressing the issue such as not being respected or condemn my family members calling me names such as "Loser" and "Crazy". Thankfully my new psych Dr Diaz at Life Psychiatry actually showed genuine care since he wanted to address the problems of my childhood instead of sending me pills like a guinea pig.

Our son has been seeing Justin since he was 9 years old. He is now 21 and lives on his own. Our son was a difficult and obstinate child and Justin helped him and helped us have the tools to get him to where he is now. In a local parenting group online Justin is known as the "boy whisperer" where several of us moms with high needs, smart, and stubborn children sang his praises as we commiserated over the tough job of parenting. Sometimes when seeing a therapist you don't always hear what you want to hear, it may at times not fit in with your parenting ideology, but most the time it's what you need to hear and need to do to help your child and to form strong connections to your children. We found Justin to be candid, honest, available when we had crisis, and affirming when our son came out as gay.

Justin seemeds more intesested in keeping his calendar full rather than helping my daughter. He charged late fees even when advance notice was provided. He had a minor sign documents that he did not provide to her parents. You are much better off finding someone else.
