About Justice (habla Español)

Hi, my name is Justice Worthy Runkle. I was born in New York and raised in Marietta, Georgia. I am the youngest of three siblings and grew up in a Latino household, which has given me the privilege of being fluent in Spanish. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 2022, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regent University, where I expect to graduate in Spring 2026.

Through my academic and personal journey, I have developed a passion for helping individuals find healing and hope as they navigate life’s challenges. My counseling style integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices. I particularly value a person-centered approach for individuals and enjoy utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples. Above all, I strive to provide a safe, empathetic, and compassionate space for clients from all walks of life.

Beyond counseling, I love to serve others through mission work, homeless ministry, and advocacy for survivors of child and adult sexual abuse. I am also a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which has allowed me to work closely with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, writing poetry, playing guitar, and spending time with animals.
