Presenter Bio
Judith Ierulli (she/her), MSW, LCSW, is passionate about working with survivors of trauma, especially those who have been silenced and marginalized. She knows that experiences of trauma leave survivors dwelling in the darkest of dark places. Symptoms such as dissociation, self-harming behaviors, sexual issues, anxiety and depression can hinder participation in life and entrap a survivor in a habitual sense of danger that may no longer be true. Yet she also knows healing is possible.

Judith works with adults and teens and facilitates trauma survivor groups for men and women. She provides consultation for therapists and counselors and is an adjunct faculty member for the Trauma Consultation Training Program.
