ENDORSEMENTS FOR JUDY LIGHTSTONE AND THE PSI INSTITUTE

From experts in the field...

 

"Judy is a seasoned professional working with trauma and dissociation. She is dedicated to her work, her colleagues, and her clients. Over the years she has integrated the many new developments in the treatment of people who have suffered traumas of all kinds, and is in an excellent position to develop and coordinate training for other professionals in this area." 

 - Lynette Danylchuck, Chair of Professional Training, Board of Directors, ISST&D (International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation)

 

 "I have known Judy Lightstone for the past 25 or so years. We were colleagues in the San Francisco Bay Area when she was there, and shared professional interests (eating disorders and trauma amongst them). I have consistently found Judy to be intelligent, ethical, responsible and an excellent clinician." 

- Deborah Brenner-Liss, founder Association of Professionals Treating Eating Disorders, Bay Area

 

 "Judy is one of those few people cross trained in the numerous methods needed to effectively treat complex trauma disorders." -

 Sandra Paulsen, owner Bainbridge Institute for Integrative Psychology

 

"Judy does creative work with people who have eating disorders and wrote a great chapter for EMDR Solutions II." 

- Robin Shapiro, editor EMDR Solutions II

 

From past trainees and supervisees...

 

"I would endorse any of Judy Lightstone's trainings. Judy is a highly experienced clinician who demonstrates a genuine commitment to evidence based practice. Judy is dedicated to safe and ethical conduct with both clients and practitioners alike. Judy is an extraordinary professional who successfully integrates academic knowledge, relevant and interesting teaching methodologies in conjunction with fascinating practice wisdom. Further, Judy is compassionate, respectful, gentle, intelligent, and not without a warm sense of humour." 

-Serafin Dillon, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist

 

"I highly recommend the work of Judy Lightstone as a trainer and practitioner of Psychosomatic Integration. I have known Judy for many years, primarily as a colleague; we consulted with each other and co-presented on the subject of DID. I can also recommend Judy as a very skilled and experienced therapist who specializes in the treatment of trauma, dissociation and eating disorders. She is able to diagnose accurately and treats her clients with understanding, respect, and compassion. 

-Debbie Ghiddinelli, Licensed MFT specializing in treating trauma and dissociation.
