Judith Tanen trained in psychoanalysis at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, New York City. In addition to being a therapist, she also has extensive experience as a trauma survivor and patient. Judith therefore comes to this work with immense gravitas for what trauma does to the body and brain and viscerally understands the effort it takes to unearth and change the beliefs, feelings and automatic responses that trauma can create. She is not just a survivor, as she has learned to thrive, and wants all her patients to follow their unique paths of aliveness.

Her educational pursuits have been driven by a passion for language in its varied forms, specifically, communication, intersubjectivity and the hidden worlds inside our minds. Now, as a licensed psychoanalyst, she and her patients travel together into the psyche, gaining insight into the complicated, ineffable and always enlightening ways we experience ourselves and others -- indeed, life itself.
