Therapists

Judy Dirks, M.A., LMHC

• BA Sociology, Seattle University, Seattle, WA
• MA Applied Behavioral Sciences, Whitworth

Judy has been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for over 30 years. She is extensively involved in the community and works with the Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery, Elijah Family Homes, Soroptimist of Mid- Columbia and the Benton County Health and Safety Network.

Judy believes that a positive partnership between a counselor and their client is the secret to an effective counseling experience. In promoting the concept that our mind-body-spirit is interconnected and that emotional blockages can interfere with the physical healing Judy uses traditional counseling techniques in combination with various energy and mindfulness counseling. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and Tapping Therapy are two examples of therapy techniques used.
