Hi! My name is Judi and I live in Nebraska! Yes, I am a true-blue Cornhusker no matter what! I have had two careers -- they are closely related. My first career was in Human Resources. I worked for several companies in HR and I also had my own business where I provided HR services for small companies on a temporary -- "as needed" -- basis. Then, I returned to college and earned my Master's Degree in Counseling. I thought I would use that degree to move into the field of Employee Relations. However, life took me in a different direction and I started a career in both substance abuse and mental health counseling. I have now been working in these areas for 23 years. I have worked in both outpatient and residential settings. I worked for the Drug Court for nine years as well. I have worked with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I have done a lot of work with corrections. I have facilitated group counseling sessions and I have been an MRT instructor. My approach is always to listen first and try to help my client identify the real problem(s). Then, together we brainstorm some possible solutions. I will support my client's choices, but I am not afraid to respectfully point out discrepancies between what someone says he or she wants and what he or she is willing to do to obtain that goal. Sometimes, we -- all of us -- cannot see how we are getting in our own way. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you! Judi

Judi is knowledgeable and is great at drawing you out. Her experience really shows through as a therapist strong in listening, validating, she's courageous and experienced enough to understand and extend her perceptions and then offer support in information and media to help you understand what's going on inside. Very helpful.

I have met with Julie for an online therapy session one time. However, brief, I feel like I was truly listened to, and felt she has a great knowledge base to draw from. She is highly communicative, gentle, kind, patient, and seems to be very wise and caring. I look forward to future sessions with her and the support she says, via hand out and online communication has been wonderful.

Overall therapy is a new experience for me and I only wish I worked with Judi sooner. She is fantastic in every sense of the word. She’s responsive, intelligent, and caring. I’ve asked for her opinion many times and those are the replies I value the most. I’m fortunate to find BetterHelp and Judi!

Written on Dec 08, 2022 after therapy with Judi for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
Judi Biniamow has been a great person to meet and express some of my concerns with. She seems interested in giving me tools to help with my perception and the ways I decide to act on them. I have many worksheets to help me learn more about myself and concepts to aid in my personal growth. I appreciate when I am talked to at the level I have been so far. I’m reasonably intelligent so it’s nice to have an intelligent conversation about self help and guided help. I’m also a naturally confessional person, so it’s nice to have an appropriate place for these conversations; my friends and family aren’t equipped to help in that way. I also feel, it can be selfish to assume that the people we go to for help aren’t struggling with the very same things. You can’t count on people who can’t swim, to help you when your drowning. But you can learn to swim, and that’s what I’m trying to learn.
This interaction gives me the tools to turn around and help the people in my life that haven’t taken the first steps on their journey yet. Thank you!

Judi makes me feel at ease and like I can be fully honest with her about what I'm going through. I really enjoy working with her because she actively listens to me and guides me to think through things instead of doing the thinking for me. And when she doesn't understand something, she's super open to learning about it. She's a safe person and the best therapist I've had!

I’m experiencing online counseling in the wake of covid, and what a great counselor to walk me through it! Judi takes the right notes and even though it’s not in person counseling, there aren’t any barriers to her efforts to get to know you. If anything, I feel it’s actually a lot easier, more available, and less daunting to communicate via betterhelp than during an in person visit. But this is likely because Judi elevated it to such a pleasant experience. Judi is very responsive, and she’s provided me with great perspective. Judi would be an excellent counselor on any platform. Thank you!

Judi is a wonderful and compassionate yet firm counselor. She offers real hard concrete options for overcoming depression and anxiety and places the responsibility on the patient's shoulders to "do for themselves" rather than allow them to hem and haw and blame all their troubles on others. Healing begins inside and with the self.
