Judith Hawkins

With nearly 28 years of dedicated experience in the mental health field, I bring a deep commitment to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationship challenges and a range of mental health concerns. For the past 11 years, I have been practicing privately, offering a collaborative and supportive space to address depression, anxiety, and other psychosocial stressors that impact daily life and well-being.

My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy to create practical, goal-oriented strategies that are tailored to each client’s unique needs. I work with you to identify patterns, develop coping skills, and foster lasting change in a compassionate environment.

Education and credentials:

Master’s Degree in Social Work from the State University of New York at Albany (SUNY Albany)

Graduated with High Honors from the Advanced Master’s Program, 1998

If you’re seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based therapist who prioritizes actionable steps and measurable progress, I’m here to help you move toward healthier relationships and improved mental health. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your goals and how we can work together to achieve them.

Recognizing that each person’s journey is unique, I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused approaches to tailor strategies to your needs. We’ll focus on actionable techniques, coping skills, and real-world applications designed to reduce distress and enhance relationships along with your overall quality of life.

The first session is about getting to know you, building rapport, and setting a foundation for our work. We'll review your goals, discuss what you’d like to improve, and outline what to expect from therapy. I’ll gather a brief personal and family history to better understand your unique context, and together we’ll agree on a plan that feels practical and comfortable.
