Judy Barrios, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Judy!

I help clients navigate some of life's biggest stressors. I can help you develop coping skills to help alleviate the stress and anxiety of some of life's challenges. I will work collaboratively with you to help identify stressors and guide you in reaching your therapeutic goals.

My focus

I have vast experience in working with individuals, adolescents with a history of trauma, PTSD, and mood disorders. I can help clients identify and utilize coping skills to help navigate stressors.

My approach

My approach to treatment focuses on an individual's potential for growth. It centers on the client's ability to find their own solutions with my guidance, which includes utilizing empathy and authenticity.

My communication style

My communication style is honest, respectful, and direct. I believe active listening is an important component of communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began as a teen wanting to understand the dynamics of family. Had a genuine curiosity about human behavior and how experiences and trauma shape our views and beliefs about the world.

My goals for you

I will work collaboratively with you to set goals and expectations. I will help in developing strategies to overcome barriers and provide support throughout the process.

Our first session

The first session is the "get to know you" session. We will review any pertinent paperwork, like informed consent. It will be a casual assessment of background history and what your therapy goals are.
