Judith (Judy) Hamilton, CSW

Judith (Judy) Hamilton, CSW (Clinical Social Worker), brings a compassionate, strengths-based approach to mental health care rooted in a long career in social work and clinical settings. A graduate of the University of South Carolina College of Social Work, she upholds the Social Work Code of Ethics and treats each person with dignity, respect, and fairness. Over more than two decades in the field, she has developed expertise working with PTSD, anxiety, depression, Bipolar I and II, adjustment disorders, bereavement, and psychotic disorders.

Her prior roles include serving as chief counselor for the Specialized Mental Health Treatment Unit with the Georgia Department of Corrections and providing correctional mental health services in county detention centers. She has more than seven years of experience in hospice care and currently works with the Department of Veterans Affairs at a Community Based Outpatient Clinic. Those experiences inform a practical, informed perspective on complex and often overlapping mental health needs.

Judith’s counseling style is open, warm, and client-centered. She prefers to walk side-by-side with clients, offering guidance while recognizing that people are experts on their own lives. Her goal is to support clients in identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and building the skills needed to move toward their best selves. Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, whole health concepts, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-focused treatments such as CPT and PE.
