Judy Hu, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) turned Boundary Coach. She provides short term, intensive boundary healing and boundary coaching for adults, couples, and groups. Her clinical experience includes two decades of serving as a therapist for adults, children, couples and families; as a supervisor for clinical interns; and as a clinical director at a renowned outpatient clinic. Without being aware of it, Judy’s life was shaped by trying to fit into boxed laid out in front of her–by her immigrant family, by her peers, and by a society based on capitalism, patriarchy, and supremacy thinking. None of those boxes or expectations fit. Trying to mask feelings of being an imposter, she landed at an all time low and finally chose her Self.
