Dr. Judy Strauss, PHD

Judy has been an important influence in my life for the past 5 years both personally and professionally. As a therapist myself, Judy has helped me understand the significant impact of the therapeutic relationship. Her clinical excellence helps to elevate the ability to gain insight, sit with complex emotions and encourage growth and risk. Professionally, Judy has served as a mentor and supervisor aiding in the expansion of myself as as a clinician and development of my private practice. Judy is a wonderful therapist and person who puts her full heart and passion into her work with her clients and is a relationship I am so grateful to have.

I first met Judy in my early 20s, after experiencing anxiety/depression. We instantly clicked and worked together for four years. In those years Judy’s professionalism and warmth helped me grow as a person and through really tough times. After being in and out of New York for the last 6 years I’ve been unable to find a therapist of her expertise. After all these years, I decided to look up Judy and sure enough she got back to me right away. Judy has made an enormous impact on my life I will always be grateful to her. Happy healing !

We are on round 2 with couples counseling with dr Judy Strauss. In 2019 Judy helped salvage our marriage of over 10 years with a child with special needs when things between us came to a head- within a year of regular counseling things got so much better. We are back now mid pandemic for a “tune-up.” Judy has helped us find each other again and our communication has never been so good. We can see why we fell for each other all those years ago and now have a roadmap to be even stronger than before. We recommend her with no reservation.

My (now) husband and I went to see Dr. Judy Strauss pre marriage to work on our communication and sort out some issues. What a great experience! She is knowledgeable, fair, a great mediator, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly highly recommend!!

When we saw Judy for couples counseling in 2018 our marriage was on the brink of divorce. Judy quickly suggested we separate - this way our 3 little kids didn’t have to bare witness to our discord. She knew that was the only way back to each other again. After working at building trust again we were able to reconcile last year - we owe judy way more than we paid her for seeing us through the most difficult time of our marriage. Go see her before things get so bad that there is no way back.

We would 100% recommend Dr. Judy as an individual or couples therapist. My partner and I had just moved in together during the pandemic and needed some therapeutic guidance throughout our transitional process. Dr. Judy was personable, knowledgeable and very easy to open up to. She truly understands the root of the issue and helps guide you through difficult times. We are happy as ever and couldn’t thank Dr. Judy enough for our couple sessions.

When you meet dr. Judy Strauss you'll know you are in good hands she is smart ethical and compassionate I had sessions with her for a year her wisdom patience and endurance with me was exceptional she helped me get through some difficult times I highly recommend Dr Judy Strauss

Judy is fantastic. She truly listened to me and gave me some specific, actionable steps. I literally tried one of her suggestions and a day later my wife and I were back on good terms! What I like most is how she can be really funny to ease the tension and it made me feel a lot more comfortable than some other people who are just super serious all the time. Judy's got a great personality and she feels like someone you just want to chat with for hours.

Dr Judy is one of the most down to earth therapists I’ve ever met. She cares about people, wants them to do well. & coaches to take actionable steps. She is l proactive over whatever you may be currently facing. Seeing Dr. Judy feels more like a partnership than patient doctor relationship as defined in the traditional sense. Can’t recommend her enough.

I can say Dr judy is the real deal with confidence since I am seeing her now the second time. Dr j is dependable, direct and has a whole lot of heart. In 2018, at age 41 dr J helped me with a difficult break up. I came back recently while working through business and career issues. I can’t recommend her enough .

A knowledgeable professional, Judy is Patient, smart, funny and kind. I am a 37 year male and feel like judy has reparented me and helped me dream once more. If you’re ready to reflect and have a true therapeutic experience judy is a great choice for a therapist.

Warm and caring, started out great, but I realized she was not good for me. She considers her patients her children, she interrupted constantly, she jumped to conclusions about people in my life with very little information, she brought up my sex life in a session with my brother, and when I terminated with her she became even more unprofessional.

During this past year, Judy has been such an enlightenment in my life. She has helped me tremendously in figuring out myself, the importance of self care, and how to live life optimistically. I cannot thank her enough, for guiding me so patiently, and I look forward to more healthy building alongside her.

Judy is by far the most giftest therapist I’ve ever had. She understands the human condition completely. She has made me feel safe when Ive been vulnerable allowing me to be open and honest. I leave every session with more than I’ve walked in with.

Dr Judy strauss is my secret weapon to living a smarter and more full life. She makes me “stay in my lane “ ( Judy’s words ) and take accountability for myself. Since starting to see her a year ago my relationships are better, I feel more alive and I like myself better. Don’t walk, run - you will know you’re safe in Judy’s care and can learn to be your best self.

In my lifetime of over 70 years, I had a few therapists who helped me build bridges over a neurosis. At this time I am delighted to have found such a resourceful and skillful therapist as Dr. Strauss. She has a drawer full of techniques and insights that have helped enormously in the year or so I’ve seen her. She is a fine professional with an astute awareness of patient needs. I am lucky to have found her. My only complaint would be that she didn't have the green tea I like on one occasion.

Dr. Strauss is amazing. I didn’t ever think I would be able to manage my anxiety and challenges. She is simply one of a kind. Her knowledge, expertise and experience, combined with empathy and compassion creares a safe environment for any patient to be able to thrive in. I wish I could give a score HIGHER than 5 stars to Dr Strauss ( Dr Judy is what her patients call her by the way. That’s how awesome she is).

Intelligent. Street smart. Gets to the core of the problem. Dr. Strauss is exceptionally intuitive while being clinically observant. As a male that was being emasculated by my insane wife and her malicious attorney, Dr. Strauss delicately encouraged me to take care of myself and to regain my confidence and independence. She helped me out of my depression and slowly but surely I became the person I had always been. Happy, independent, and free.

I started therapy with Dr. Judy in August of 2016, when my life-partner of over thirty years was diagnosed with an incurable neurological disease. The treatment has been a tremendous help in dealing with the daily challenges of being a caregiver while being a professional musician at the same time. Dr. Judy is good at finding constructive plans of action thanks to her knowledge of resources for eldercare and through her many professional connections in New York. I am glad to have her on my team.

I am a full-time working mother of teenage twins who reached out to Judy upon having to deal with a family crisis. I needed someone who could help us process these events so we could move forward. She has been incredibly warm and caring every step of the way. My children and I are very comfortable with her. She really listens and offers good, practical advice. After a year, we are seeing daylight again. We highly recommend her!
