When I first started seeing Judi I was in a codependent abusive relationship. Judi helped me see the lies and dysfunction behind my daily life and ultimately helped me get out of it. She also helped me in my new relationship by not bringing my past mistakes into it while building trust. She helped me make goals and held me accountable to them. I’ve been going to therapists my whole life but Judi is the first one that actually helped me make sense of where my relationship habits were coming from and how I could fix them. She’s very good at getting on your level, speaking your language and helping you make sense of it all. She’s the first therapist I’ve ever had that truly had a conversation with me and it wasn’t just me pouring my heart out with no response or action. She helped me set my life back in order when I couldn’t tell which way was up or down.

I infinitely appreciate the help you have given me, and am eternally grateful for the growth I have been able to achieve with your assistance. You are an incredibly gifted person. You have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life, and given me an understanding of myself and others that will help me for a lifetime. I cannot thank you enough for everything. Working with you has changed my life.

Thank you for helping me grow, for seeing that I am important and my needs are important too. It has been a long and hard road to see that I’m worthy of someone that loves me. Thank you for teaching me the tools to be a better person.

In March 2016 I contacted Judi Ross and spoke with her on the phone to set up an initial intake for a few weeks out. In that first session, Judi was so kind and had a way of drawing me out. There were tears and we talked about the last 5 months. She helped me to see things I was doing that weren’t helpful for my relationships. She helped me to realize I deserved some self kindness and it was ok to set boundaries for myself. My relationships have improved by using the skills Judi taught me. Early this fall I realized I was feeling good about myself and the progress I was making getting to know myself again after years of putting everyone else first. Judi continues to help me with other past issues and new ones that come up. I am in such a better place than I was 10 months ago. I look forward to my sessions with her and we never lack things to discuss. I wish everyone could see a therapist like her because I truly believe everyone would be so much happier. I can’t change things that are going on with other people or things going on around me, but I can change the way I choose to handle them. That is so empowering! I still have work and self discovery to continue and I look forward to it now. Judi Ross is a very attentive listener and teacher and she shares her abundant knowledge on human relationships in a most useful and helpful way.

Thank you for seeing my soul. I feel so supported and encouraged when I meet with you. You provide the container for me to grow. I am grateful to have found you.

I can not be thankful enough that I met you. My life has truly changed in only a matter of months thanks to you. It was meant to be and I’m so glad your nontraditional approach has helped me shine in ways I could only dream of…cheesy but so true. I can never thank you enough… I will never be the same and I am so very happy about that.

I have been practicing yoga psychotherapy in groups with Judi for about 8 months now! I’ve loved every single minute of it and it has truly been such an amazing journey getting to know myself on a deeper level. At first I was a little nervous to try yoga because I had never taken a class before and had no idea what to expect. However, I quickly learned that I had nothing to worry about! I walked into a room with friendly faces and warm welcomes creating a cozy atmosphere. The new poses and breath work I have learned has helped me to untangle my anxiety and declare it powerless. It’s so refreshing to take a deep breathe, let go of any attachments, and appreciate my thoughts without any judgment. This class has helped me to find my voice again, realize that I am enough and that I matter. I learned how important it is to take care of myself and to love myself along with others. Every week I look forward to taking this class and learning new ways to practice mindfulness. When I walk out of class, my heart feels a little lighter and a little warmer. Yoga psychotherapy has not only changed my perspective but my whole life. Judi and her class has become my saving grace and I can’t wait to continue this amazing journey!

We wanted to say thank you for your time with us. We wouldn’t be married today without the reflection and skills you helped us to grow and learn. You were with us through the toughest of times in our relationship. We have learned self reflection, patience, resolution, and so many more things than we had known before starting with you. Thank you for your patience with us as we learned how to change and grow together. We now look forward to our future using these skills you taught us.

I just wanted to say “THANK YOU” for everything you have helped me with over the last 1 1/2 years. I have had a wonderful experience during our sessions. You have truly impacted my life in ways you may never truly understand. This has been the most enriching experience of my life and I owe it all to you. Your support, understanding, and kindness has reached me in my darkest moments and I will always be grateful for that. …Thank you for helping me become another success story.

Thanks for helping me to normalize some feelings that were very chaotic and scary.

Thank you again for being there to listen and push me to do things that have made me a better person.

Thanks for all your valuable insight. I’m so thankful to have found you just when I needed it most.

As a woman who was looking to slow down the pace of my life a bit, I decided to veer away from the typical yoga classes I had been taking at the gym and explore Judi’s yoga psychotherapy group. (I was also curious how Judi would marry yoga and therapy together as it’s still such a unique combination.) Judi’s class was a welcome change of pace. It reminded me that yoga doesn’t have to be solely about physical fitness and flexibility. Instead, I found it can be a tool to help us get present in the here and now, reconnect with our bodies and breath, and access where we are at any given moment through mindfulness. I would highly recommend Judi’s class to anyone looking for a gentle, nurturing environment in which she can connect with her body, mind, and spirit again.”

In my years working alongside Judi Ross at Aslan Institute, I’ve come to respect her integrity, skill, and compassion both as a person and as an integrative psychotherapist. She is a deeply devoted and gifted therapist, with her holistic approach to therapy augmented by deep feeling and passion for positive change for all whom she knows and works with. By promoting health, wellness, and mind-body skills with her clients as well as herself, she remains true to her heart’s calling as a healer. Judi’s skill set is high quality, effective, helpful, and powerful for people in need of therapy. I highly recommend her services without reservation – she is the real deal.
