Judith’s study of stress and its effects profoundly deepened her understanding
of health and well being and convinced her of the necessity of a holistic
approach to psychological counseling. She began seeking and integrating material
that promotes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This
understanding, further expanded by continuing education and personal experiential
work with master teachers, enables Judith to offer a unique spectrum of assistance
to her clients.
In addition to furthering her traditional psychological studies, she has also
studied and experienced various eastern philosophies, spiritual traditions,
and approaches to health and well being, including being a student of meditation
and teacher of hatha yoga. She has studied for twenty years with Dr. Brugh
