Catherine Hood-Judkins

We had seen several psychologists and had made little progress with my daughter’s anxiety. We have been so relieved to have found someone who has been able to teach her (and us!) the strategies to lessen her anxiety. We strongly recommend her.

My daughter spent a lot of time with Dr. Cathy Hood Judkins. Dr. Cathy is very nice but we never had any real strategies about how to deal with her anxiety. It felt like we just went in circles during our sessions. I often left feeling badly about myself as a parent. I would not recommend her to others.

We saw Dr. Hood-Judkins in 2014 when my son was 10 yrs old and entering 5th grade. He was a disaster. Could not still sit, concentrate, act appropriately in social settings, etc. We had no idea what was wrong. After a thorough review of Colin's symptoms, Dr. Hood-Judkins pointed out something we had not given much thought too. His stomach-aches. With her recommendation, we followed-up with a specialist in auto-immune disorders. That led to my son's PANDAS diagnosis and, ultimately, changed his life and ours for the better. Now he is 15 and a sophomore in a competitive, private high school. He's a straight A student, plays on the soccer team, play trumpet in the Jazz Ensemble, and has a healthy, normal, fun teenage social life! Thank you, Dr. Hood-Judkins! I have always wanted to say thank you but we know longer live in St. Louis. My son is working on a paper for school talking about his experience with PANDAS so I looked you up and felt I had to write. Thank you!
