Psychologist BPsychology(Hons 1), PhD (Psychology) MAPS Dr Justin Harrison has a storied history, having worked as a tradesman, a park ranger in the central desert, and a trekking guide in Kakadu and Patagonia. Justin has worked with men, children, families, and couples for over two decades and has a passion for how the science and art of psychology and philosophy can enrich our lives. In addition to his couple’s and family systems therapy, Justin has worked as a School Psychologist, and taught Developmental Psychology at University level for many years. His research and experience in statistical and research methods are at the fore when it comes to assessment and diagnosis of learning or neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. Specific Learning Disorders, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorders). While Justin is a social scientist – having published papers on parenting programs, moral and religious psychology and impulsivity – he is also an accomplished essayist and guest speaker, available for engagements on request. In addition to his clinical work, Justin continues to teach psychology as an adjunct lecturer at Charles Sturt University. Perhaps because of his travels and experience with indigenous cultures, as well as his passion for the natural world, Justin also has an abiding interest in the therapeutic potential of non-ordinary conscious states. To this end, Justin completed his Certificate in Psychedelic assisted therapies (PAT) with the Mind Medicine Institute in 2022 and offers psycho-therapeutic integration of non-ordinary conscious state experiences in a non-judgmental and harm minimisation context.
