About Me

Hi! I received a Bachelor's Degree in Education/Biblical Studies from Southeastern Bible College (Birmingham, Alabama) and a Master's Degree in Agency & Community Counseling from the University of Montevallo (Montevallo, Alabama). I am also certified by the Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling as a Supervising Counselor to provide supervision for those seeking full licensure. I am a wife to my wonderful husband, Don. I have two children - a very loyal son and a daughter who now lives in Heaven - and three gorgeous granddaughters. I am a Christian and am active in my local church. I enjoy writing, cooking, reading, sewing, quilting, & playing with my grandchildren.

I have over 25 years experience in the Mental Health field, having worked in a variety of settings including private practice, intensive out-patient treatment for those with severe mental illness and chemical dependency, wilderness program for troubled teens, and outpatient services for children/adolescent/families issues. I have certification in Trauma Counseling. I work with all ages, regardless of sex, race, or economic status. I have provided in-home therapy for at-risk families, and have had extensive training in working with children/adolescents in multiple situations. Areas of specialty include: pre-marital/marital issues, chronic pain/illness, chemical dependency, family dysfunction, educational/ vocational attainment, dealing with trauma/abuse from the past, and grief & loss.

My goals in counseling are:
(1) to walk along the journey with someone to assist them in knowing who they are, and learning to like and accept who they are;
(2) to assist people in forming meaningful relationships, devoid of abuse or manipulation;
(3) to help people form short-term and long-term goals and to ascertain the steps needed to obtain those goals;
(4) to provide services in an atmosphere that fosters compassion and empathy in order to help the client feel safe and comfortable at all times.

I would count it a privilege to assist you in accomplishing your goals.

Judith is excellent because she has a treasure chest of life experiences to draw from. A great person to go to for problem solving. She has been there and done that giving her a strong foundation for problem solving. She has a gentle but strong manner that draws me to her. She has been great for me. Love you Judith!!

Judith is a really good therapist. She listens, she offers good resources, and she is easy to talk to with. She checks in sometimes just to see how things are going and makes me feel as if I and my issues matter. I'm super thankful to have found her!

Just had my first session with Judith, I didn't know what to expect but she was very refreshing. She gave me things to work on before our next session. It was a really good experience for it to be my first time in counseling.

Judith is very kind and understanding. She makes you feel comfortable and listens. She offers practical resources to aide with sessions. I look forward to continuing to use she serves.

Written by P.A. on Jul 02, 2020 after therapy with Judith for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

Judith has always responded in a manner I appreciate. More a folksy relatable style that suits me well. I tend to be analytical and do all the work sheets and read the theory, journal and try hard to articulate myself. But I don't have access to all the experience of other people and their journies to put my thoughts in perspective. Judith here's me out and gives me good guidance toward healthier beliefs and has helped me correct some thinking and chalwnge some beliefs that have lowered my anxiety and improved my life.

Judith is EXACTLY what I was searching for in a therapist!! Judith has been so wonderful and supportive! I have had counseling before, but I never felt I had the “right fit” with previous therapists. Judith is a Christian. Which is very important to me in that my Faith is a huge part of my life! I highly recommend Judith and I’m so grateful I found her through Better Help!
