Judy Nathanson

Dr. Judy Nathanson is a dedicated psychologist with over 30 years of experience, dedicated to facilitating enduring change in her clients’ lives. She views therapy as a collaborative endeavor, where clients bring their challenges and Dr. Nathanson provides a safe environment filled with compassionate listening and thoughtful questions. Her extensive training as a family therapist enhances her work with couples, families, and adults. As they explore their narratives together, clients often find new interpretations of life events, gaining profound insights into their personal stories. Dr. Nathanson encourages clients to closely observe their cognitive, emotional, and somatic processes, equipping them to take valuable lessons into their daily lives. Her previous two years in Japan, where she assisted expatriate families in adapting to a new culture, inform her current practice, which proudly serves individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Dr. Nathanson works adeptly with issues such as marital and intergenerational conflict, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and unresolved grief, and she also conducts independent custody evaluations. She is committed to helping clients identify their unique strengths and harness them for personal growth. By exploring how the body holds conflicts and recognizing how distorted thinking can lead to unhelpful behaviors, Dr. Nathanson facilitates a calming of the mind and soothing of the body, allowing space for new possibilities. Incorporating humor into therapy adds a valuable dimension to her approach, making it an essential tool for meaningful change.
