01 · Who Judith works with
Judith lists 5 specialisms and 45 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Judith chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Judith's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hi my name is Judy and I am a Social Worker licensed in Michigan with over 30 years of experience working as a Therapist and counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, and borderline personality, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive, yet at the same time I will challenge you to grow and change to meet your goals. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. I don’t believe your diagnoses define who you are. I believe that everyone is a unique person and deserves to be treated with respect for who they are. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek therapy and assistance to improve your life. If you are ready to take the first steps towards a better you, I am here to support and empower you as you make changes to improve your life.
I look forward to working with you!

03 · What happens next
Judith practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Judith's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Judith at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Judith is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Judith.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Judith actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Judith's - Judith has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 31 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Judith's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Judith. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
