More about Judy

  • 32 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW

I am a social worker with over 30 years of experience. My undergraduate degree is in Business and Psychology, and I have a master's degree in social work.

My primary area of focus is working with couples and trying to help them heal their relationship. Through our work together we can hope to heal communication challenges and figure out how to build, or rebuild a healthy relationship. In addition...if a couple decides to end their relationship, together we can do this in a kind and compassionate way.

My approach to helping people is eclectic...which means I tailor the treatment to the needs of my clients. I have been trained to listen attentively and to understand what is being presented by people I am working with. I believe in the tenants of social work which stress confidentiality and treatment without judgment. My experience is that not every therapist is a good fit for every client but the right fit can be life changing.

I believe therapy is a gift someone gives to them self and it is an act of courage to understand that you need help and are willing to seek it. I look forward to helping you achieve your personal goals and help you have the peace of mind you seek.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Judy is a godsend. She helped me through some very dark times, and was very easy to talk with about any difficult issues, and provided great insights. I cannot recommend her enough.

Reviewed June 2019

Been a few weeks and has been an incredible experience, both Judy and online form of therapy. I can’t say this would be a great form of therapy if it weren’t for her. I have hope again because of Judy. She is kind and extremely attentive. I almost don’t want to write a good review because I don’t want to lose her attentiveness. I try to remember to have boundaries so I don’t bother Judy too much but she has never made me feel like I bother her and encourages me to keep in close contact. I can’t say enough good things about Judy and my experience.

Judy Goldsmith is an amazing person! The first time I spoke to her, she exuded warmth, knowledge, and understanding. Which is exactly what I needed then. She is an excellent listener, and doesn't make you feel like you are being judged. If in the future I need assistance, Judy is the one I'm looking for. And you should too.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Judy! I’ve talked to a few other therapists but none I’ve liked as much as Judy. She’s really helped me make some serious breakthroughs and she makes everything so easy to understand! Talking with her has really helped me understand why I was the way I was and helped me get to where I want to be. I even took a break from counseling for a while and came back when I needed help processing things again and it’s been just as helpful this time around as well!!

I was really skeptical at first, and in the beginning I struggled to find the connection. But Judy is really patient and she let me take things in my own pace. She listens and understands and she's always there. She shows a genuine interest in who I am and what I do. I'm really happy with my counselor and I'll recommend BetterHelp and Judy to everyone. It's definitely worth it.

I absolutely love Judy. She helps me more than any therapist I've seen, including one I've spoken to for a few years in person. I'm confident that she guides me toward a life of happiness, fulfillment, and independence. Truly, I'm a much better person just from knowing Judy, even though I only just met her.

Judy was slow to start with me- I am assuming because of the holidays- but she has been patient and diligent with me to get me to look at things in a different perspective that most others haven't. I appreciate that. She understands my concerns.
