Jenée Justice, M.A.
Jenee is a fourth-year doctoral student pursuing a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington D.C. She earned her master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology in 2019. She currently works as a Psychometrician at The Pat Summitt Clinic assisting with neuropsychological evaluations while she applies to internship positions for the upcoming year. Her primary clinical interests include assessment and therapy with children and adolescents presenting with a wide variety of concerns, play and sandtray therapies, and the diagnostic assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders in young children. Her dissertation is currently in-progress and seeks to examine the utility of integrating child play themes into clinical decision-making across theories of play therapy. She is excited to have recently moved back to her hometown of Knoxville where she can begin to benefit her own community through local advocacy efforts and collaboration with other mental health professionals.
