About Me
Welcome.
My name is Judy Goldman and it is my pleasure to assist you on your travels through the bumps, twists and turns of life. We all walk this journey in our own individual ways. Sometimes life can be filled with joy, excitement and hope for what lies around the corner. But for those times when we get knocked off balance and it seems harder to find our way, just having the right person to speak to, helps us regain our footing and continue on our path.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, having been licensed in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I earned my degree in 2003 and have been working as a therapist with individual, couples and children and families for more than 15 years. I am open-minded, accepting, and always willing to listen. I draw from a wide variety of styles and techniques, but do not rely on any particular one. I believe we are all unique with our own way of processing the events and experiences of our lives. I am here to help you sort out and work through whatever isn't working well and holding you back from being the highest version of yourself. I believe together we can find more contentment and peace in your life.
My experience working out in the community and in private practice has included clients of all ages and backgrounds with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Recovery, Eating Disorders, Behavioral and Cognitive Difficulties, Relationship Issues, Parenting Difficulties (including foster care and adoption issues) and Abuse and Addictions.
I work with phone and live chat as well as messaging. Feel free to message me anytime as I try to check Better Help twice daily.
Congratulations on taking the most important step in taking care of yourself by reaching out to connect here. I welcome the opportunity to work together and help you discover a way in to the most rewarding relationship of your life...the one with your truest self.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Judy Goldman. 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.
Judy provides great insight and has a great aura that will make you feel comfortable in each session. She's clearly an expert in this space and has a great understanding of my needs. The resourceful articles related to the sessions allowed me to reflect on my journey bettering myself each week.
Love her! She’s amazing! Makes me feel super comfortable and has been very helpful. I wanted her from when I first started this app and then I got someone else which did not work at all, when I was able to switch I was so happy I got her.
Judy is intuitive and empathetic. She combines best therapeutic practices with candor and humor to create a safe space where I can explore my perceptions and feelings about my experiences. Her weekly post of articles and insights about various topics always has relevance to my process. Judy makes great suggestions and assists me in designing plans and actions that help me in reaching my goals. She is supportive and at the same time, she challenges me to deeply examine my feelings, values, thoughts and actions. I leave every session with increased clarity and motivation to move forward.
I think that better help is a great service. My counselor is great.
The compassion, understanding, thoughtfulness, insight, and humor Judy shares in her sessions have made the short time I've worked with her a wonderful experience. She provides a safe, warm space in which I feel valued, understood, and listened to. Her gentle encouragement and guidance help to keep me on course throughout my week, and knowing I have her in my corner has helped to strengthen my resolve to continue doing the work on myself in the face of whatever challenges may arise. I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with her and am thankful for her continued support and guidance on my journey.
Judy listens intently and becomes a part of your healing. It is a real team approach where she expects you to be actively involved to improve the quality of your success.
Judy Goldman has really helped my mental health. She is empathetic and a good listener but also comes prepared with action items and next steps for me to get going not and not just talk about it!
Judy is an excellent listener & hits the nail on the head when it comes to her perception of the issue at hand. Her sense of humor is wonderful & she is extremely supportive of the growth of her clients. 100% recommended!
Judy Goldman is an excellent therapist. She truly listens and always sends me articles to help me with whatever we are discussing at the time. I’m very happy with this therapist. I feel she addresses my issues and ends each session with something to work on during the week.
Judy is compassionate, we relate well. She is informative offering helpful resources. Judy has helped me. I am grateful for her support. The venue of telecommunication makes it easy and video chat makes it real.
Thank you.
Judy is the best counselor I’ve ever had! 10/10
Judy is really great. I enjoy her updeat personality and her humor.
Judy seemed to “get” me almost immediately. We definitely clicked and she is able to pick up where I need to place my attention when I get a little lost.
Helps that we are close in age and can refer to examples that are relatable.
Ms. Judy has a way of disarming me and asking the right questions to help me realize or identify something I hadn’t noticed before. I appreciate her listening skills and the accuracy of what she mirrors back to me. She’s amazing!
I am thankful for Judy’s support at this time. She has been very helpful and gives great suggestions and insights.
I’ve only had one session with Judy but I can already tell how wonderful she is. She’s very respectful and gives good input on subjects I’m concerned about. I would recommend her to everyone!
She's great
Judy is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and has a fresh perspective. She shows true compassion and a welcome sense of humour. I’ve seen many different counsellors over many years but Judy presented ways of looking at things that were new and eye-opening.
She is the BEST! Feel so comfortable telling her anything
Judy is very polite and kind therapist. She managed to get to the root of things exceptionally quickly with me and I’ve found listening to her very thought-provoking and helpful.
I would highly recommend her.
Judy has been so helpful in equipping me with tools and skills to help deal with my emotions and I cannot thank her enough for the effort and time she has given me.
She’s the best!
Judy has always had a soft and understanding approach. She has provided me with the necessary tools to help work through my struggles. She is compassionate and very easy to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone who needs some guidance to navigate through a tough situation.
My first session with Judy was lovely. She was not able to fit me in for the next week, although she did block out time for me for the third week moving forward.
My third week with better help, my second session with Judy, she showed up a couple minutes late and had technical problems. We were unable to have the video meeting as planned.
She may be a wonderful therapist. She has terrific Reviews. I didn’t really get to find out.
Great conversation, she really gave great insight and it was only our first session together!
Happy New Year 2021. I’m just at the beginning of counseling with Judy Goldman and feel lighter already. This is going to be a great year for me letting old emotional patterns go and creating a new roadmap to my future well being. I find the ability to use betterhelp.com is much easier than driving to a physical appointment. Journal of break throughs is right in the site, being available to Judy right away, instead of waiting another week. I’m loving this help from home, thank you betterhelp.com.
Judy is the reason why I came back to Betterhelp!
A major help, teacher and guiding post during my darkest moments. I came to Judy at a dark time in my life and it only got darker. She taught me the tools I needed to care for myself and how to process my emotions. You will be in good hands.
I had a few sessions with Judy following an incredibly difficult period in my life (on top of the "new normal" stressors of COVID). Judy completely understood where I was coming from, pointed out things that I hadn't thought of and then equipped me with tools to help manage my stress and anxiety. Highly recommend!
I am very grateful to Judy Goldman! She is not only very experienced and professional, but she is also exceptionally kind, considerate and respectful. She listens very well and understands what I am going through. Her very helpful input and recommendations have enabled me to better endure--in a healthy way--and properly respond to some difficult issues. As I transition from crisis to sustaining mode, I still plan to meet with her. Sincerely, GB
I love her!
I love Judy. She is a fantastic listener and really knows how to dig to the root of what is triggering my anxiety. She is non-judgemental and really lets you be yourself when you talk with her. She makes me laugh and makes me feel 100% comfortable.
Judy is very nice, patient and understanding. Her advice is professional and effective. I'll recommend her to my friends.
Great counselor! She listens very well and her experience is evident in every session. She gives a lot of support and excellent advice. I always have my notepad handy she has plenty of valuable information. I’m grateful to betterhelp and to Judy. Would highly recommend her to any friends and loved ones
judy is great
Judy was kind, compassionate and sincere with a warm communication style, which made me feel comfortable from the start. She has great skills in breaking issues down into manageable action steps. She was really skilled at helping me see things from a number of different perspectives which is what I needed. I highly recommend her!
Simply outstanding.
I have been talking with Judy for 4.5 months and it has made the most incredible difference in my life. She listens and comes with relevant advice and help. I don’t know where I would be without her.
Judy is good.
Judy accepts and understand the discomfort that we face as human beings, regardless of where we’re from or how old we are. She is objective and realistic yet optimistic which doesn’t discourage you from facing your reality. I am proud that she is my counsellor.
Judy has been very good to me.
Always makes me feel like I matter and things can be worked out. I highly recommend her.
I’ve referred her to 3 people already! Enough said!
Judy is a wonderful person to talk to, she offers insights and perspectives that I had never considered before and she has helped me tremendously.
Judy has been deeply helpful to me in these last weeks. I feel safe knowing I can reach out to her in these dark times and I am grateful for her presence in my life.
I’ve been talking to Judy for a while now and am very happy with the outcome. She’s had some great tips what to work on and how to do it and it’s good to have someone who checks in with me.
I'm very grateful to Judy for her time, high expertise and human being attitude. I don't have much trust to psychotherapy, if to be honest, but to Judy I have just simple trust and can recommend her to anyone. She is my first doctor and I don't want to change her for anybody else.
What a compassionate, warm, and genuine lady! When I’m in a negativity ‘tail spin’ she catches me & gently guides me back into a steady glide. Never feel judged, put down, silly, or small. Best counselling sessions I have had, have come from interacting with this lovely being!
Judy has been helping me with my anxiety and family/relationship issues for the past few months, and she completely revolutionized the way I have seen counseling work for me in the past. She always has something meaningful to say, she always understands where I am coming from, she can always help me find some clarity and better coping mechanisms, and I am very lucky to have matched with her. Highly recommend!
My short experience with Judy has been amazing. She is a very caring and welcoming individual that has helped me understand and open up about the few things I wouldn’t talk to any one about. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Judy has really helped me to learn new ways of managing my anxiety. She's very friendly and listens to what's troubling you before offering advice and using lots of examples to help change your perspective on things. I really learnt a lot from my time working with her.
I really enjoy my sessions with Judy and feel she genuinely cares and understands. Her personable responses make me feel comfortable and more able to open up, even though I tend to have difficulty with this in therapy settings. Thank you Judy!
Judy has opened my eyes to a new understanding of what is going on. She has responded to me within a timely manner and has done nothing but been respectful towards me. She has been a great help.
Judy has been an amazing help at a difficult time in my life, dealing with daily stresses whilst also addressing family issues and past traumas. She has a wonderful ability to relate to situations and offers you stories that helped me find clarity in things. She was always really quick to respond and I really appreciate her time and all she has done. Thank you Judy!
Judy has been wonderful, patient, understanding and she creates a clear interpretation of situations. She helps to calm the mind and walk you through the motions of healthier coping mechanisms. Lucky to have been matched with Judy!
Judy was very kind and professional! She really listened to everything I was saying and explained everything to me. She gave me wonderful ideas to help myself get through everything! Thank you!
Judy has been extremely patient and considerate with me. She's taken the time to really understand the issues at hand and has offered practical advice and approaches. She's been very attentive and genuinely committed to helping. Thank you, Judy!
Judy has been very helpful to me, pinpointed my problem multiple times and gave needed instructions. She made me feel supportive and strong again. Thank you so much!
Advice is timely and appropriate.
It's been extremely helpful talking to Judy Goldman. She is very understand know what to say and when. Great listener but also gives good advices and all through examples as simple as it can be so you would understand what she wants to say. I highly recommend talking to Judy.
She is extremely patient and insightful.
So far Judy has been amazing helping me on my journey and to understand and deal with things that were causing a burden. Always friendly and there to listen and help and always so kind!
I’m going to be real. I have been to different counselors and yet I do appreciate the effort they put in for me. But I don’t think there was a time where I connected so strongly with a counselor as I did with Judy. It’s like she grabbed all the thoughts that were muffled up in my mind and laid it out for me verbally. And I felt that my mind was clear. I felt so good. I wish I could stay longer but I can’t due to financial issues. But from our time together I really want to thank her. She is such a lovely person and hopefully you guys are lucky to get her as your counselor. Now, I have a different perspective towards things that I have never thought of. Thank you Judy.
Within minutes assessed the issues and provided solid advice accordingly.
Judy is polite, understanding and helpful. It's early days but so far she has been really responsive and helpful.
Judy is an amazing counselor! Her replies are prompt, compassionate and right on point. She is an excellent listener and is able to help me reflect on my feelings in a way that helps me truly understand them. I’m very comfortable talking to Judy and always feel so much better afterward. She guides me to utilize strategies which have helped me so much in dealing with stressful situations occurring in my life. She has helped me to see things more clearly so that I can choose the best path forward. Her advice on dealing with my relationship issues has truly been invaluable to me and I’m so grateful for her support.
Judy is an absolutely incredible therapist! Beautiful insight and has a great perspective!
I've had back and forth messages with Judy along with phone calls and she has been absolutely incredible in helping me. She is a very caring, kind and compassionate soul and I could not have asked for a better counselor during my time here. She made me feel very at ease and helped me tremendously in seeing things from a different perspective and overall helping me understand my problems and what I need to do in order to get better.
Judy is truly an incredible counselor.
I am at the beginning of my journey here and I have already been given so many tools for making personal progress.
Judy and I have messaged back and forth several times and have had one phone call (so far). She always responds quickly and checks in on me. She is so easy to talk to and has a very warm and captivating way of giving a different perspective to different situations. Judy has forwarded questionnaires that have given me the opportunity to explore things within myself that I haven’t yet considered.
Judy’s been kind, compassionate and informative. She’s provided real tools to help me navigate a very difficult time in my life. My works not over by any means but her help has provided me with some new perspective and more importantly... the ability to be kinder to myself during the process.
Judy’s empathy, humour and wisdom were much appreciated when I was at a crossroads and wasn’t sure whether I was ready to step back into therapy sessions. She was always on hand to listen and was thoughtful in checking in with me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to listen and offer both experience and understanding.
In the very first session Judy helped me pinpoint a major past experience that has shaped my life that I hadn’t even thought of in 10+ years. I found my session to be extremely interesting and insightful and I’m confident I will see lots of progress with Judy.
So far I have had only 2 sessions with Judy but i feel massive improvements within myself. She is experienced, smart, kind. Always responds in the timely manner. I love talking to her because every time I learn something new and that really helps me to cope with whatever I am going through.
Judy, you are one outstanding, amazing and kindhearted counselor. I am amazed and thankful for your advice, availability, objectivity and down to earth sessions, they have worked wonders by bringing me back to my real self, I was really losoig hope and feeling desperate, you are a blessing in my life!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with me! You rock!
It’s been a great experience so far.
