Judith S. Zorfas, LCSW, BCN
Psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. Each person has his or her unique history and life situation. Together, we will look at you in your life in order to figure out what keeps you from fulfillment. Our upbringing, environment and biology shape how we experience the world. The way our parents and caretakers cared for us sets the patterns for how we relate to ourselves and to others throughout our lives.. We react to traumatic events by enclosing ourselves in a self-protective wall. Rather than protect us, that wall often ends up isolating us from ourselves and others! My office is a safe, confidential space. As your therapist, I use myself to listen, observe and feel your experience in order to help you “see” things in a new way. You don’t have to stay stuck in the same unsatisfying patterns. There are more possibilities! Self-examination often requires a lot of courage. It can be painful but it can also be fascinating and exciting. Taking the journey to truly understanding our own experiences, feelings and desires is so worthwhile! After all, we spend our entire life with ourselves.
Modes of Treatment:
I provide a safe and secure space virtually working with adults in individual and couples treatment.
Specializations:
In my practice, I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with histories substance use, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore the underlying causes of their distress and begin the journey toward healing. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs and may incorporate evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Whether you are facing a recent challenge or dealing with long-standing issues, I am here to support you with compassion and expertise.
Therapeutic Modalities:
My approach is rooted in attachment theory, relational dynamics, and mind-body integration. I work collaboratively with each client to identify internal and external barriers, foster self-awareness, and support the integration of the whole person, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I am LGBTQ-affirming and committed to inclusive, compassionate care.

My approach blends empathy with proven therapeutic methods, creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and supported. Healing is not just possible—it’s a journey we take together. Whether you’re facing emotional overwhelm, rebuilding trust in a relationship, or working through the lasting effects of trauma or addiction, I’m here to walk with you at your own pace. Your path to well-being deserves care, insight, and someone who truly listens.
