Helping People Build Resilience & Purpose

Justin Levine founded Strive to Thrive Coaching after seeing a gap too many families know firsthand: young people leaving treatment or navigating transitions often lacked the structure, mentorship, and confidence to thrive in real life.

Drawing on his background in neuroscience, athletics, and youth mental health advocacy, certified professional life coach Justin Levine built a coaching model that blends science-backed strategies with lived experience, accountability, and heart.

His journey—from NCAA All-American runner to professional pacer trusted by Olympians, to Neuro Health Director at Telos RTC—taught him that thriving isn’t about chasing achievements alone. It’s about identity, purpose, resilience, and connection.

Whether pacing Olympians on the track, speaking on Capitol Hill about mental health, or coaching families through tough transitions, Justin leads with empathy, authenticity, and an unshakable belief in people’s potential.
