Justine Chatterton, PhD, LP

Created a foundation for exploration and curiosity. My empathy and deep interest in people took over from there and I set out on my journey to becoming a psychologist.

This has goal led me to the University of Wisconsin- Madison where I established an educational foundation and a love for all things cheese. I spent time living in New York City before moving back to Minnesota to complete a master’s degree in Kinesiology at the U of M with hopes of becoming a Sport Psychologist. From there I headed south to obtain my doctorate degree from the University of North Texas. During my doctoral training I had the opportunity to develop as a general psychologist alongside working with athletes on their mental health. This broad training allowed me to develop an interest and skillset in hospital based care, traumatic stress, and complex mental health concerns. I was then eastbound again to Hartford, CT where I completed an internship and fellowship in acute psychiatric care at the Institute of Living.

Coming home to Minnesota in 2016 has been such a gift. I continue to foster my clinical interests through the privilege of caring for the patients at United Family Physicians. I specialize in treatment of trauma through the use of polyvagal theory and sensorimotor interventions. I have a background in attachment theory and perinatal/postpartum mental health, as well as a specialization in psychological assessment. Outside of work you can find me on a hiking trail or in a tent with my spouse, dogs, and new baby boy.
