About Judith Lathrop

I hold a master’s degree in marriage and family counseling and am a New York State licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my degree in 1996 and have guided many families, couples, and individuals to better relationships. I hold advanced certification in Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy through the Wellness Institute in Issaquah, WA, which has helped me identify and heal my own issues and, therefore, become a better therapist. I have had many personal growth experiences that have molded me into the person I am today, as well as making me a more empathetic therapist. I believe I needed to work through my own issues in order to give my best to you.

My treatment specializations include help with depression and anxiety, couples counseling, family counseling, parenting support, grief counseling, stress management, family members of addicts, conflict resolution. My approach is a mixture of Family Systems techniques, Strategic techniques, and Solution-Focused counseling. I personalize my approach so it is tailored to your individual needs to help you attain the personal growth you are striving for. I assign homework if it seems appropriate to help you achieve clarity about a problem. I truly believe the answer lies within you and my role is to guide you to find it. I work at your pace whenever possible but will push if it seems like you are stuck.

I understand how difficult it can be to seek help and know that it takes courage to work toward a more fulfilling life. You have already taken the first step by reaching out for help and I am here to support and empower you as you move forward. I look forward to getting to know you on your journey!

“Judith has been tremendously helpful throughout my time with her. Never overbearing, she knows when to listen, when to ask the right questions, and when to offer clear and concise advice. Several times she has transformed my perspective on an issue with just a few short words. I am noticeably happier with my life and work, and feel that I now have the tools to approach difficult situations.”

“Judith is an amazing therapist. She’s always on time and ready to help and support us in working through our issues”

“My husband and I came to Judith during a very difficult and confusing time in our marriage. The therapy that we’ve been doing with her have helped us both and our relationship immensely. She’s helped us both make sense of a lot of the issues and hurt that we were both experiencing and continues to support us on our journey to healing our marriage. We’d never done couples therapy before this and I can say that we are both so grateful that we went through with it, even though we were anxious about it. It’s been 100% worth it.”
