The Trager Paychophysical Integration Approach uses movement to reduce anxiety and pain, increase flexibility and peace. Mentastics (Mental gymnastics). use movement to reach your unconscious holding patterns in the mind. This is a free-form, guided process, that you design with my help in the moment. The group setting amplifies your fun and ability to connect to others through authentic sensing and feeling. Music may be used, but not every time. You will learn how to listen AND how to respond to your own body's messages of discomfort, and also learn to use with your clients.

Clients often tell me, they were told: there is nothing more that can be done...for their poor gait, pain levels, anxiety and depression even mood swings. Somatic education and therapy is another option. Judy will guide you to greater self awareness so you can notice your unconscious holding patterns and let them go. Once helpful, these old patterns may be holding you back. The use of gentle movement and touch is freeing and releases the deep seated and often unconscious patterns of pain and trauma. Judy will help you find a way around it...with gentleness and fun.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma from narcissistic and emotionally neglectful parents? Are you combatting emotional patterns that have been playing out in your life since you were young or from a past relationship? Do you want to feel more peace, calm and satisfaction in your daily life? Maybe you need better coping skills so that your brain and body don't feel so quick to react in a way that isn't healthy for you.

I enjoy working with clients to help them overcome their struggles and find strength and skills in meeting the challenges in their life.
This group is for any individual struggling with chronic pain. This group provides support and teaches skills for coping with a chronic pain condition. Dealing with chronic pain is one of the most mentally and emotionally challenging issues any human being can face. We understand this fact and provide both love support and encouragement as well as education to live your life with purpose and intent. We want you to focus on living, not always on making the pain go away. Connecting with others going through similar situations and who truly understand is extremely empowering!
Everything you do in life is a "performance" - whether in school, job, or home - and you want to consistently "perform" your best. My goal is to assist you in performing at optimal levels - in relationships, careers, sports, addictions, or school. I help you understand who you are, what you desire, and what blocks you from ideal performance. We face these blocks together head on and move to a place where you are living, experiencing and performing YOUR quality life. I have the belief that anything is possible with the right people and the right process.

We will help you minimize mistakes and maximize successes when it comes to psychiatric service dogs.

You’re doing the best you can, and it still feels like somethings missing. You don’t know what that something is but you know when it was taken from you. I know because I’ve been there and I wanna help you. Starting with a new counselor is extremely difficult. I always tell clients that counseling is like a pair of jeans. If they don’t fit right, it will be uncomfortable. I use audio and video based treatment to reduce the impact of adverse life experience to help busy survivors let go of the past and trive in the future.

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Intensive Outpatient Program and our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction/Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Intensive Outpatient Program are for adults with the following diagnoses: * Anxiety Disorders * Depression * Eating Disorders * Bipolar Disorders * Self-harm behaviors, suicidal thoughts, or attempts
I have many years of experience working with individuals who struggle with mental health and addiction problems. I use a skill-based approach to treatment called dialectical behavioral therapy. This type of treatment focuses on learning how to live in the moment, manage interpersonal relationships effectively, handle life's challenges with grace and competence, and understand and deal with feelings in constructive ways. Using my training and diagnostic knowledge I will develop a comprehensive treatment plan that emphasizes relapse prevention and living a life worth living. I work with a team of other mental health professionals including psychiatrists, and counselors.

Chronic Pain Support Groups
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
