Getting to know Judith Stanigar
Hi there, I'm Judith! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of practice. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and a Bachelor's from SUNY Potsdam. I am a client-centered, solution-focused therapist who believes in creating a judgment-free environment where you can feel supported and safe. Together, we can work toward achieving your stated goals.
My approach
I most often use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic therapies. My experience has taught me not to fit clients into a box, as each person is unique. The approach I take needs to be a good fit for you, not the other way around. Therefore, I also draw from various other therapeutic methods as needed.
My focus
Clients are individuals, each with their own strengths and challenges. I typically work with people struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, and addiction. I appreciate clients who have goals in mind but are also open to self-discovery. Motivated clients who want to reach their goals are my dream clients.
My communication style
My communication style is plain and simple, providing an understanding, empathic, and non-judgmental conversation. This helps us explore your feelings and experiences with the goal of improving your quality of life. And I love to use humor when appropriate.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always known I wanted to help people, and that desire grew after graduating from Columbia University. Wanting to make a difference in someone's life and helping them navigate difficult situations is what drives me to do this work.
My goals for you
Often, clients come to therapy without clear goals. It's most important to me to approach goals collaboratively, meeting you where you are and helping you set goals for success.
My first session with you
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and a getting-to-know-you, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing.
