Directors, ISST&D (International Society for the Study of
Trauma and Dissociation)

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."

numerous methods needed to effectively treat complex trauma
disorders."

Psychology

disorders and wrote a great chapter for EMDR Solutions II."

had developed an excellent program for eating
disorders using evidence based methods. Her
knowledge of EMDR and somatic interventions is
thorough and she has produced an effective
intervention for clients.”

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.
