My name is Judith Pantalino, and I've gone by Judy since childhood. I earned my MS in Community Counseling from Wilmington University in May 2013 and am licensed as a Mental Health Therapist in Delaware. I work with clients experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms due to grief and loss—most often through the death of a loved one. My bereavement clients are often navigating loneliness for the first time in their lives, whether they've lost a spouse of many decades or a child at any age. This type of healing tends to be a long-term emotional recuperation with weekly therapy sessions.

I begin the therapeutic process using person-centered therapy. I like to add onto this process with CBT. It is a collaborative process between the client and therapist together and is helpful in identifying and changing negative thoughts and behaviors. These thoughts and behaviors can be the cause of your anxiety, stress and/or depressive thoughts. 

I believe in you as you make your first step towards a more peaceful life. Each step matters as you progress in your well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you as you gain confidence and move toward this peaceful life. I hope you'll take the next step and schedule a session where we can work together as you heal and grow.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with 32 years of experience. I have worked in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities, and private practice. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem. In my remote work, I enjoy supporting individuals (late teens to adults), couples, and families.

I earned my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, with influences from internal family systems and mindfulness. I create a compassionate and active environment where clients feel supported yet gently challenged toward growth.

I understand that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming yet hopeful. Every person’s story is unique, and I aim to make the process comfortable, collaborative, and empowering. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges with confidence and clarity. I would be honored to partner with you on your healing journey.
