Joshua Friedman

Joshua Friedman

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I believe that meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My first priority is getting to know you, understanding what has brought you to therapy, and creating an environment where you feel comfortable being open and authentic. I want you to feel that I am the therapist you’ve chosen—not the therapist you have to see.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families, and I take an individualized approach to therapy based on each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. Drawing from several evidence-based treatment modalities, I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, identify the changes they want to make, and develop practical skills to support those changes.

Together, we’ll explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain from the process, and how our work together can help you move toward the outcomes that are meaningful to you.

Justine Muyu

Justine Muyu

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


You've gotten through things most people never have to face — and somehow that's made it

harder, not easier, to ask for help. Maybe you're carrying anger that flares before you can stop

it. Maybe your closest relationships keep hitting the same walls. Maybe there's grief, or

trauma, or a version of yourself you've been trying to get back to for a long time. Whatever

brought you here, you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning or justify why it

matters. It matters. And you deserve a space where the work is real — and you deserve a life that is not just surviving. You deserve to live a meaningful, authentic life where you are thriving!

I'm Justine Muyu, LCPC — a Maryland-licensed clinical supervisor with 15 years of experience

and advanced training from Johns Hopkins and Salve Regina. I draw from ACT, Gottman

Method, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed practice to work with the whole

person, not just the presenting problem. No templates. No scripts. Just honest, skilled work.

I offer virtual therapy across Maryland and accept Aetna, Cigna, Ascension, and Carelon

Behavioral Health. New client openings are available now. Reach out today — let's find out if

we're a good fit and start building a plan that's actually made for you.
