Judy Girard is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Colorado who has been treating children, adolescents and adults in a supportive, nurturing and results-oriented environment since 1992. She is a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
Her practice is devoted to individuals, couples, families and children who desire to get more out of life.
Marriage and Family Therapy is brief, solution focused, designed with the "end in mind." In other words, the therapy model is very goal oriented, with specific and attainable goals. While Marriage and Family Therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems including depression, marital problems, anxiety, individual psychological problems and child-parent problems, Judy prefers to focus much more on the personal growth and development of her clients. As a family therapist, she looks comprehensively at the wide range of relationships in which an individual is engaged including parent-child, couple, sibling, work and school relationships. Recognizing that a person's relational systems are often the source of stress and symptoms, she uses a systemic approach to look at the client's relationships within a system (such as family, work or interpersonal relationships) as an instrument of change and healing. The focus is not so much on the clients' problems but on the action needed to move toward a solution.
Judy's model is holistic in nature, encompassing her clients' emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual health. Whatever the presenting issue, Judy is capable of working with her clients to assess the situation and make appropriate suggestions or referrals in order to achieve a healthy level of functioning.
Our rapidly changing world has increased the stress level in most people's lives. Isn't it about time to make some changes in your life and create the life you desire?
As a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) Judy is a mental health professional trained in psychotherapy and family systems, and licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within the context of marriage, couples and family systems. She is able to evaluate and treat mental and emotional disorders, other health and behavioral problems, and address a wide array of relationship issues within the context of the family system. Judy has been trained to broaden the traditional emphasis on the individual to attend to the nature and role of individuals in primary relationship networks such as marriage and the family. MFTs take a holistic perspective to health care; we are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families.
Therapy services are provided in person only. Judy operates a fee-for-service office and a limited number of sliding scale appointments are available. Generally, appointments are on a weekly basis. All appointments are confidential.
