Hi there, I’m Judith. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. For the last four years, I’ve had the privilege of providing mental health, academic, career, and relational counseling for children, teenagers, adults, and couples. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, intimacy related issues, motivation, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and building interpersonal skills. My therapeutic style leans towards a person-centered approach where I meet my clients where they are in a empathic and non-judgmental manner. I tend to also use various counseling techniques in order to assist clients with meeting their personal goals. As a Christian who is a counselor, I feel compelled and honored to walk alongside those who are hurting, create a gentle and safe space for them to be vulnerable and honest about where they are, and find healing. I know how it feels to be hurting and needing someone who can help you work through your own struggles, and I look forward to walking with you through this journey of healing. It takes a lot of courage to taking this first step towards mental/emotional wellness and I am happy to work with you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My goal as a counselor is to create an atmosphere that is warm and inviting in hopes of creating a safe space for my clients to be vulnerable and themselves. I believe wholeheartedly that a strong therapeutic relationship is vital to help you navigate your journey. As we build rapport, clients can expect me to be transparent, honest, and encouraging. But they can also expect me to challenge thoughts, actions, and ideas that may hinder you from meeting your overall goals.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

As a therapist, I tend to use various counseling methods and tools to help meet my client’s needs and personality. In the past I’ve used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, narrative therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, intimacy related issues, motivation, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and building interpersonal skills.
