Liesl Bauer Judah, LICSW, PLLC
I earned my degree in 2005 from the University of Denver and have been licensed as an LICSW since 2009. After almost 6 years working in Community Mental Health, I began my private practice in Olympia in 2011. While I work with all school age children and their families, my practice tends to focus on Teenagers and their Families who are struggling with ADHD, Anxiety/Depression, and Behavior issues. I take an eclectic approach to Mental Health, using CBT, Psychoeducation, and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients accomplish their goals. My favorite part about this work is getting to know each unique individual and joining them in discovering their path through whatever it is that brought them to counseling.
