Patients Reviews

I'm in my sixties, my kids are all grown, and I haven't been in Dr. Judy's office for over a decade. Yet, I still remember that first day of therapy many years ago. Dr. Judy opened the waiting room door, and greeted us, two nervous parents, with her warm smile. Her easy manner relaxed us and we knew we were going to be okay. A few days later, as our child walked out of the first individual session holding an art project depicting a sailing ship in stormy seas, with a bright sun in the corner, we knew we were in the right place. Even Dr. Judy's hands were smeared with paint, showing us that she'd try anything - whether in or out of the box -- to connect with our child. Dr. Judy's relationship style with parents did not follow the typical version of "drop your kid off at therapy and wait in the waiting room," experience. She involved us, by asking us for input about how things were going at home. We loved that our child had a special, safe therapeutic relationship with his psychologist. Dr. Judy encouraged us to have faith and trust in God throughout the sometimes painful process. Over time, I've become more appreciative of her eclectic application of creative use of tested modalities; I'm thinking of play therapy (that playroom!), behaviorism (colorful charts, incentives, positive reinforcement) that required our participation, and CBT (that I as a mom benefited from, especially re-framing through humor!). I remember Judy with fondness and appreciation and my years as her patient had a positive impact on my self-esteem and confidence. My child is now a grown adult, married, employed and settled with a beautiful family. I remember the hard work of therapy during those years; it was at once a joyous, sad, hysterical and tumultuous journey. I truly believe Dr. Judy's loving work, gentle sense of humor, together with our family along with God's ever-present Hand, combined to bring this positive outcome. Thank you!

Judy is working with my son, but she cares about all of us in the family and makes sure to check in on everyone's mental health (and physical health) status. She shows a lot of investment in our family and in our having a good outcome. Judy is insightful and knowledgeable and helpful.

You are the reason I have made it as far as I have come. Without your help all those years ago I do not think I would have made it to now. Happy with a beautiful daughter, almost 17, a wonderful career. You helped me lay a foundation for my growth. I speak of you fondly to this day.

Dr. Judy Bin-Nun was a great help to my 12th grader with her university applications this year. At a very stressful time, Dr. Bin-Nun helped my daughter turn her fears into confidence. For the essays, Dr. Judy gave suggestions with care and even made the process fun. She greatly respected my teen's efforts and helped her to find her own words to enhance her accomplishments. I would recommend Dr. Bin-Nun to any parent whose kid is feeling overwhelmed with applying to college and needs a little extra support to show their best self. Dr. Juy is magic with children and adolescents!

There are not enough words to describe how Dr. Judy as my therapist has been a positive, grounding, therapeutic presence in my life throughout the last sixteen years and helped me become who I am today. Dr. Judy has helped me become the resilient, compassionate, empathetic, loving, and courageous woman I am today and thrive as a mother, former spouse, daughter, sister, co-parent, niece, friend, and legal advisor / future lawyer. She not only has been an empathetic, guiding, loving, validating, and trusted listener, keeper of my life’s story, and safe space, but she has allowed me to feel safe to show up as my authentic self-quirks and all. She is practical when it comes to problem solving together, which I greatly appreciate and need. At times, I need direction and takeaways to help me do the work on myself and in my life. She has also helped push me when I need a gentle push to do whatever it is or helped me to see a situation or problem through a different lens. She is my biggest cheerleader and advocate in my life. She was the first person I called crying hysterically when my life imploded at midnight in 2020. She picked up her phone and was there with me over the phone until I was able to calm down and continued to be there for me throughout the nightmare that was 2020 to not only help me survive 2020 and 2021 but helped me to thrive again. Dr. Judy has given me the tools to navigate relationships familial, romantic, and platonic that are challenging, to set boundaries, and to figure out what I need emotionally and not to do what others expect or want from me. Dr. Judy has been a loving constant that has helped me to weather life’s storms and has helped me to get out of anxiety and depression loops during times of crisis. Her quirky sense of humor helps when I find myself not wanting to do a therapy session or feel heavy during a session. We can joke around and laugh together and that is needed at times. She has helped me to know that I am resilient at my core and I will always be okay (with or without her). Although I never want to imagine my life without Dr. Judy in it, she has told me she will be there for me always and never abandon me. This is the safety net I need. After the death of my mom when I was 22 and my complicated relationship with my dad, parental abandonment has been a core wound I’ve worked on healing. Dr. Judy has been like a mom to me after my mom died in 2005 helping me navigate my early adulthood and process trauma from childhood and and analyze my dysfunctional family. I have done a lot of processing, analyzing, grieving, and healing during our 16 year relationship. Dr. Judy has been there for me during the darkest times in my life when my first daughter was born prematurely and passed away at 5 weeks old and when my spouse of almost two decades demanded a divorce due to mania out of the blue. Dr. Judy has always worked with me when I couldn’t afford to pay her at her normal hourly rate when I was a broke law student, an unemployed recent law school graduate, and a struggling single mom going through an expensive divorce and other times I can’t recall so I could continue to have the therapy sessions with her that were literally life saving. I am grateful for her kindness and generosity. Dr. Judy has also been there to help me celebrate the most joyful times in my life : falling in love, moving in with my partner, getting engaged, getting into and graduating from law school, getting new jobs, getting married, getting pregnant, having two children, and buying a house. Dr. Judy, there are not enough words to express my deep love and gratitude for who you are as a therapist and as a human being and the positive impact you have had on my life as my therapist. You have not only transformed my life for the better, but saved my life when I was drowning in my life’s last powerful storm. I love you forever.

I started seeing Dr. Judy, based on a friend’s recommendation, during the toughest period I have faced in my life. I often look back at that time and wonder how I could have gotten through it without her wisdom, encouragement, and caring guidance. Through my sessions with her, I not only found my way through, but I developed a deeper understanding of myself and others that has made my familial and romantic relationships much more successful and satisfying. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit for me; she cultivates an environment that feels safe and loving. Dr. Judy draws on her depth of expertise to share her perspective and knowledge, while also encouraging me to make discoveries for myself. She is not interested in making her patients dependent upon her, but rather she is there to help them address their difficulties so they may face life independently. I will be forever grateful to her for all she has imparted to me.

Dr. Judy Bin-Nun, a warm and caring human being, is a brilliant psychologist. She has imparted such valuable wisdom to me and my children, not a day goes by where we don't quote Judy. As an Educator, I pass down parenting suggestions I heard 40 years ago, which still ring true. Her art/play therapy gives children a safe place to be themselves as she guides them through difficult times. Judy is a dedicated psychologist who gives 100% to her clients. She will be there for you as she was for me.

Dr. Judy was extremely helpful as a guide for me during a very difficult time in my life. Through our work together, she helped give me the tools to navigate the immediate challenges that I was facing, as well as the skills to address some of the larger challenges that went beyond my initial treatment. She also invited me to join a therapy group that helped me even further. Dr. Judy has an amazing skill to hone in and identify what tools are needed and how to harness the internally to support internal changes in the short, medium, and long-term to feel happier and more fulfilled. I will forever be grateful for her guidance to help me become the person that I am today.

My 2 children has had wonderful experience with Dr Judy. Dr Judy was hired during our family’s most difficult time. My children suffered through extremely high conflict parent divorce, physical issues and, of course, pandemic. They tried a few other therapists, but none of them worked. After they met Dr Judy, they bonded with her immediately. They trusted her very much. Dr Judy had been instrumental in helping them back on positive trajectory. She is truly a “life saver” in this way. Dr Judy cares about the children more than anything. Her excel professional skills and warm personality with true heart for children make her the best children psychologist. There is never enough words to describe how much I appreciated she brought my children back up from their lowest mental points. She is not only my children’s therapist, but also my hero.
