You’re going through life feeling like no one hears you. You’re afraid to let people see the real you because you fear rejection. Or maybe you’re struggling with figuring out who you really are? You spend a lot of time either trying to avoid and numb out or managing intense emotions associated with memories, flashbacks, or nightmares. Or you have intense emotions but aren’t really sure where they’re coming from and others say you overreact. You are easily startled when someone slams a door or yells or drops something. You feel like no one understands. And it’s exhausting. You’re ready for relief from your symptoms. You want to feel heard and understood. You’re prepared to figure out who you are outside of your past and the symptoms you battle regularly. You’re ready to enjoy life, perhaps for the first time in your life. You are worthy and deserving of relief from your pain. Having 15 years of experience in working with survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize your pain and the various ways you express it so I can help you heal.

Hi! My name is Judy Durdan and I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Florida and Connecticut. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2001. I have extensive experience working with a variety of people in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I've worked with people who are diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, forensics, homelessness, and veterans, as well as people who just want an ear to hear them and help guide them through the steps to feeling whole. My goal is to help adults in difficult times figure out how to address those issue through thoughtfulness and mindfulness, utilizing their own strengths and experiences, as well as, a few skills I have to offer. The treatment is an agreed upon approach created through support and understanding, and my approach being adjusted to your needs. Please contact me so that, together, we can find the most convenient and beneficial time that we can meet to tackle those issues. Enjoy your day!

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Florida with over 35 years of experience working as what I like to call a "clinical changeologist": assisting in a process of change that in many cases becomes life altering. My many years of experience provide a unique and varied approach to the therapy journey. I am committed to and believe that growth is more about the journey rather than some destination. I am quick witted and sincere in my approach with clients and believe my reputation for assisting is well known to my past clients and colleagues. My approach to the therapeutic process is grounded in the awareness that trauma based experiences can dramatically effect the emotional well being of anyone. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues as well as LGBQT issues and concerns. I have a long and extended experience with multi spectrum addictions in both substance use ,as well as other process difficulties found in treating addictive disorders. I am well versed in the recovery process in the 12 step community. Human sexuality and intimacy concerns are also within my area of focus. I am familiar with many methods and techniques in the therapy process considered when initiating any therapy relationship. I have assisted many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse in their lives. I am well experienced with such methods as EMDR in the healing process. I look forward to establishing a working relationship built on trust and a desire for self improvement.
