About Judith Ruskay Rabinor
Judith Ruskay Rabinor Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, author, speaker, writing coach and consultant based on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
"People come to my office when they have run out of steam and feel lost and isolated. What heals all of us is developing deeper connections-to ourselves, others and the universe."
Judy offers individual, couples, and family therapy, runs groups for binge eaters, a consultation group for mental health professionals and mentors and coaches writers individually and in groups. Her new book, The Girl in the Red Boots: Making Peace with My Mother (She Writes Press) will be published May 4, 2021. She is a longtime expert in treating eating and body image disorders, (read about her approach in A Starving Madness: Tales of Hunger, Hope and Healing, Gurze Books, 2002.) and she also specializes in working with divorcing and remarried families.
