About Judenie
Judenie Dabel is a recent graduate student seeking her LMHC with unique experience and background. She is a Haitian-American born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. Her clinical training started on a Domestic Violence team for an outpatient non-profit. She continued her training at a Black and woman-founded telehealth counseling clinic. She has worked with clients from the ages of 18 to 40. Judenie enjoys working with teens transitioning to college, young adults, and adults. She specializes in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and other related challenges.
Judenie completed her master of arts in mental health and wellness counseling from NYU last year. Her passion for youth and community advocacy led her to pursue a career in counseling. She uses strength-based, narrative, person-centered, and mindfulness approaches to help her clients feel heard and seen as she teaches them to advocate for themselves.
Life can be hard. One way to address some of your hardships is by asking for support. Seeking support is the first step and you should be proud of yourself for doing so. Judenie hopes to collaborate with you to find ways to address your challenges. You are full of lived experiences and potential that will lead you on your journey to healing.
"As a Black Haitian-American woman, I understand what it means to be different, among many other things."
