Justine D. Ashlee is known to others as a kind, warm, and dynamic force committed to the well-being of those she serves through education and empowerment.

Justine worked in the non-profit sector for years before becoming a caseworker at the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P), New Jersey's child protection agency. She worked with children in placement and those who remained in the physical custody of their parents. After reflecting on her values and purpose, Justine resigned from her position with the state government to pursue full-time psychotherapy.

In 2023, Justine opened Blue Aspen Counseling and Consulting. BACC offers consultations and therapeutic services such as individual and group therapy, parenting classes, support groups, and workshops. Justine works with children, adolescents, and adults. She specializes in gender, racial, and ethnic identities, adoption, LBGTQ+ issues, ADHD, and behavior challenges. In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Justine is also a parenting coach with a focus on the Black community and parents involved with DCP&P, an author, and speaks at various events.

When working with clients or speaking to groups, Justine utilizes a three-step method that has proven transformative: Dismantle, Relearn, and Align. Justine encourages those she works with to examine beliefs rooted in misinformation, trauma, or shame, learn new tools, strategies, and knowledge, and align their intentions, impact, and actions.

Beyond her various degrees, certifications, and licenses, Justine has significant lived experience with multiple marginalized identities. This translates to an increased ability to connect with and relate to the challenges many of her clients face.
