Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

“Accepting New Patients” My primary focus is the Whole Person concept incorporating the psycho-social-spiritual and biological components. I will provide you with honest direct feedback coupled with an unconditional positive regard and encouragement. My therapeutic style has been described as casual and relaxed and educational. I tend to utilize various therapeutic modalities as well as infusing my sessions with some humor, compassion, and even a little metaphor thrown in for good measure. I use a positive, strengths-based approach built on a foundation of respect, compassion, kindness and active listening in my practice.

My name is Judith, and I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events or struggle with anxiety. As a therapist, I am committed to create a judgement free environment, empower my clients, and help them build resilience in the face of adversity.

Whether you are struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic experience or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, I am here to support you on your journey toward greater health and well-being.

Whether you've been in therapy before or are getting started for the first time, the process can sometimes feel overwhelming. I know it took a lot for you to get here, so while you’re here, I hope you connect with something that offers a bit of comfort. My experience and interest lies in working with adults healing from complex trauma (C-PTSD), family of origin wounds, narcissistic abuse, attachment issues and addiction. Since earning a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling in 2010, I've held clinical positions ranging from residential primary therapist to clinical director, eventually transitioning to private practice.

It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self. I can help adults and teens create movement in the isolated "stuck places" and integrate unprocessed pain and suffering. I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.

Life often presents us with difficult challenges, causing stress and discomfort. These are not things you have to navigate alone.

I work with individual adults (18+) managing a variety of issues, including trauma and PTSD, spiritual/existential issues and concerns, creative blocks, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and career/life path development.

**Now Accepting New Clients** I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, providing services to Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families.

Welcome to my page! There's not a better time to start therapy than at the beginning of the year.

Have you reached a point in life where it seems that something needs to change in order for you to be truly happy?

I strive to provide an honest, warm and collaborative environment so that you can feel safe embarking on your journey of self-exploration, healing and growth.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

Hey there! How is your healing journey treating you? Is it like one of those rollercoasters that drops you from thousands of feet in the air, spins you in circles, and makes you want to scream or throw up?

Or is it kind of lonely and you’re wanting to talk to someone? Everyone experiences struggles in different ways, and I just want you to know that it takes strength to be vulnerable and reach out for help. I see you and I am here for you.
