275 N Street, Harrison, NY

Ms. Judith Tota specializes in counseling and practices in Harrison, NY.

"My experience with Judith Tota as my therapist at St. Vincent's Day Program in Westchester was extremely negative. Throughout the year I attended the day program, I found her to be condescending and spiteful. When I attempted to apply for Social Security Disability benefits due to my inability to work while attending the program, she actively tried to block my application by writing to D.S.S. and insisting that I would never return to work if I received disability benefits. However, her attempt was unsuccessful, and I was ultimately approved for disability benefits, allowing me to pursue a part-time job, earn my associate's degree, and work towards my Masters's degree in mental health counseling and art therapy. The disability insurance also paid the benefits while in school and for most of my schooling. Based on my personal experience with Judith Tota, I would not recommend her as a therapist."

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
