Background

Dr. Judy N. Lam

Welcome to my private practice!

I will coach you, as a person or as a couple, to promote and enhance your resilience and self-renewal. You will be activating your healing process to assist you to move forward from anxiety, compulsions, depression, and other negative feelings to a greater sense of emotional resilience, health, and well-being.

During our work together, I will be using my expertise in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy so that you will soon be on your way to accomplishing your goals and reaching your dreams. I am your partner to health.

I have over 15 years of experience and draw upon it creatively with every person, couple, and family choosing to work with me. I have taught as a professor in universities, worked as a research director, and led as a clinic director in mental health centers. I had published peer-reviewed articles and contributed book chapters (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Psychiatric Services, Journal of Traumatic Stress, Psychoanalytic Inquiry, Behavior Research and Therapy, American Journal of Medical Sciences, Handbook of Effective Psychotherapy, and Violence in Intimate Relationships) on these topics:

Resilience
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Panic disorder with or without agoraphobia
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy
Consequences of childhood abuse and maltreatment
Smoking dependence and cessation
