Judith Gusky received her MSEd in clinical mental health counseling from Youngstown State University. She is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and is currently working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania.

Judith came to counseling as a mid-life career change. She worked for a number of years in the field of historic preservation and history education, and later in the area of corporate training. She completed a doctoral degree in history at Carnegie-Mellon University. It was as a result of that work that Judith realized how deeply her life had been affected by loss and grief from an early age. The outcome of her doctoral work was the 1996 publication of a book by Syracuse University Press (under the name, Judith Dulberger), "Mother Donit Fore the Best:" Letters of a 19th-Century Orphan Asylum.

Starting in 2004, Judith pursued the education, training, and credentials necessary for clinical mental health counseling. She now specializes in grief and loss and also mental health issues confronting the elderly, the chronically and terminally ill, their families, friends, and caretakers. Her interests extend also to counseling women diagnosed with breast cancer, couples experiencing a late-term pregnancy loss, and adults who have experienced the loss of a parent as a child.
