Judge believes therapy can benefit nearly everyone, whether they are navigating life’s inevitable challenges, facing difficult times, or focusing on deepening their self-understanding and achieving personal fulfillment. He aspires to create a warm and collaborative therapeutic environment that supports clients towards the well-being, growth, and change they seek. Judge enjoys working with diverse populations, including individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity exploration, and adjustment to major life transitions.

While Judge has specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), he integrates a range of evidence-based approaches, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. His trauma-informed practice is eclectic and adaptable, employing a holistic approach that considers the whole person to best join with clients where they are. He values a strengths perspective and cultural humility as foundational to his practice.

Judge holds a BA in Applied Psychology and Social Justice from UMass Amherst and a Master of Social Work (MSW) with a certificate in Mental Health Practice from Simmons University.
