Hello, I am a New York, New Jersey and West Virginia State Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 15 years experience working with mental health and substance use disorders. My other specialty areas include crisis intervention, behavioral health, hospice/end-of-life care, depression/anxiety and domestic violence.
My style has always been to meet my clients where they are as I am a believer of the Harm Reduction model as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused and Mindfulness approach. I give a calm, pleasant, safe space for my clients to express how they feel without judgement. Our lives are a work in progress and we deserve to take our own personal inventory to reflect within and take stock of what makes us who we are.
Therapy can be a venture into the self in order to find inner peace and awareness. It can also bring healing, purpose and meaning to one’s life. I am excited to help people work toward their goals. Let's do the work together towards healing and enlightenment to Foster self regulation and self development. I look forward to hearing from you!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Trauma and abuse, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Caregiver issues and stress, Co-morbidity, Coping with Natural or Human-Caused Disaster, Domestic Violence, Hospice and End of Life Counseling, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Prejudice and Discrimination, Self-love, Young Adult Issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Judy Foster. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
In a world of great uncertainty and anxiety, Judy provides me grounding. With honest reflection and solution-based suggestions, I feel in relationship with my own healing. Judy listens gently while keeping me accountable and empowered. I look forward to every session and often find myself taking notes. She is wise, she is supportive and she is hopeful!!! I appreciate her approach to therapy and truly feel cared for. Thank You Judy!!!
