My Quote
A healthy mind and body is the infrastructure for your inner life. In stressful times ... remember to breathe. Use the ringing of a telephone or being stuck at a red light as a reminder to breathe slowly and deeply in and out. Perhaps pair with a positive affirmation or gratitude such as "I handle things with ease" or "I am thankful for all challenges."

Personal Note

Judith Peres is a clinical social worker with postgraduate training in cognitive/behavioral therapy and mind/body health. She has extensive experience in stress management, grief work, aging and palliative care.

Philosophy

In my work I focus on assisting people with successful life transitions. Transitions represent the inner reorientation and redirection we all experience when faced with major life changes. Changes, even desired ones, can create stress, anxiety and depression.
