Judy Loudin, MA
Licensed Professional Counselor

Since 1973 I have been in professional practice in the mental health/addictions fields as a therapist and an administrator. I opened the first private practice in this area specializing in women’s issues in 1983 known as WomanCare Inc. Over a 16 year period, I employed up to ten therapists including myself and briefly had a second location in Niles, MI. Along with a cutting edge focus on women’s issues, we provided counseling for men, couples, children and families. In 1999 I closed the group practice, retained the corporate name, and began a solo practice. After 22 years of practicing in downtown Kalamazoo at the Remington House, I moved my business to my home office where I currently practice.

Over my lengthy career, I have come to understand the wholeness & healing potential within each of us. My belief in the integration of mind, body & spirit is reflected in my practice.

I am a Certified Imago Therapist which allows me to work effectively with couples either married or partnered.

Recommended books are:

• Getting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix
• Making Marriage Simple by Hendrix and Hunt

Our goal together is to learn positive self care, to gain a better understanding of yourself and the people you relate with in your daily life and to take the necessary action to heal your circumstances.

Imago Relationship Therapy

“Counseling Is Good Preventative Medicine”

The above statement really applies to my work with couples! Improving your relationship will prevent you from being unhappy, dissatisfied, angry or fearful, all of which lead to serious stress and possible physical symptoms.

Imago is the Latin word for Image. Our Imago is the image we carry with us from our developmental years which influences how we see our world and how we act and react in our relationships, especially with our chosen partner. You will learn a style of communication called Intentional Dialogue which helps couples more easily talk through frustrations, needs and wants. Through a series of exercises, you will gain more self-understanding and be better able to relate to your partner with empathy.

Individual & Couples Counseling is available using telehealth via zoom for the following:

• Premarital/Pre-commitment
