Judith

Judy is a highly skilled psychologist with extensive experience in mental health, particularly in working with individuals impacted by substance use issues (AOD) and those involved in the corrections system.

Her background includes years of compassionate, evidence-based practice across a broad spectrum of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex mood disorders. She brings a comprehensive understanding of the unique and intersecting challenges faced by those navigating addiction recovery and legal requirements, ensuring her approach is both empathetic and practical.

Judy's therapeutic style is client-cantered and highly adaptable, focusing on building strong, trusting relationships and creating individualized treatment plans. She draws from a range of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care, which are particularly effective in supporting clients through recovery, managing their mental health symptoms, and rebuilding their lives.

Her holistic approach empowers clients to address their mental health while navigating the unique pressures associated with correctional orders, enabling them to make meaningful, sustained progress in their lives.

I am a psychologist with experience working within the Department of Justice and Community Safety, supporting individuals on parole and community corrections orders. My expertise includes forensic mental health, trauma-informed care, and rehabilitation strategies to assist clients in reintegrating into the community while addressing mental health, substance use, and behavioural challenges.
