"Justin has a rare gift—he connects with young people with deep empathy, having walked in the very shoes of those navigating treatment. He understands the importance of structure, the challenges of transition, and the tools required to truly thrive after leaving an RTC. His work at Strive to Thrive Coaching is exactly what families need: real-world support, emotional clarity, and a sustainable path forward."

"Justin and Strive to Thrive Coaching are filling a critical gap that most families don’t even realize exists until they’re in it—the space between residential programs and true independence. From our own experience, we’ve seen how much support is needed in this transition, and having guidance in that ‘in-between’ space has made a tremendous difference for us. The consulting and coaching world was completely new to us, and it often comes into play during some of the hardest times of change. Justin brings clarity, compassion, and direction to a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming, and the impact has been invaluable."

"Justin is one of the strongest advocates I've seen for mental health and the RTC community. He has represented our industry with integrity and passion in front of Congress, at the Utah State Capitol, and in local meetings with policymakers. His ability to raise awareness about the urgent need for these programs- especially with the incredible stresses young people face today-has made a real difference."

"Justin has been incredible in helping my son build structure, balance, and confidence. From supporting his academics to encouraging exercise and healthy habits, my son’s motivation and well-being have truly flourished under his guidance."
