Hello, my name is Justine Paquette and I have been a therapist in a community-based practice for children and families for over two years. I am nonbinary and part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have a master's degree from Bay Path University and have my LMHC. The treatment areas that I specialize in are trauma, anxiety, adhd and am a safe space for the LGBT community.
Welcome! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have worked with adults in a multitude of settings including residential, community, outpatient, and emergency departments. I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing challenges around anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. I have special interest in women's mental health. I bring transparency, authenticity, and creative problem solving to the therapeutic relationship.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.
I'm a board certified psychiatrist. I received my medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University and trained in psychiatry at the BIDMC Harvard Psychiatry Residency Training Program. I also completed a one-year fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.
I practice general adult psychiatry and specialize in women's mental health and reproductive psychiatry, young adult mental health, and LGBT+ mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lexington
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Lexington, MA starts with identifying what you're looking for in a provider. You may want someone who specializes in concerns common among LGBTQIA+ individuals — such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, identity exploration, or family dynamics — or you may simply want a provider who understands your experience without needing extensive explanation. Both are valid starting points.
Lexington is part of a broader network of communities in Middlesex County, including Arlington, Bedford, Concord, and Waltham, where affirming providers practice both in person and virtually. When evaluating a provider, reading their bio can help you understand their approach and whether they have specific training or lived experience with LGBTQIA+ communities. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before booking a full session.
Therapy in the greater Boston area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who accepts your coverage.
