With over 23 years of experience working with families, teenagers, and young people, Justine brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to The Quirky Therapist. The business offers services such as family therapy, neurodivergent parenting strategies, post-divorce therapy, and environmental checks to help families navigate challenges and find solutions together.

Located at the Salamanca Art Centre in Hobart, The Quirky Therapist provides a safe and welcoming environment for individuals seeking support in various aspects of family dynamics and mental health. Justine’s emphasis on understanding the impact of the environment on teens and young people underscores the business’s holistic and client-centered approach to therapy.
