Well, what I saw on Judy Keith’s website yesterday made me really curious, so I called the Texas LPC Board.
According to the Texas LPC Board, Judy Keith is not licensed as a Ph.D., and she should absolutely not be using that degree in any way connected with her LPC practice in Texas.
They would not say anything regarding whether a complaint had been filed against her in this matter, but their manner on the phone did suggest that the Board was aware of the matter and was looking into it — so whether they would admit it or not, somebody must have caught her.
That person has done the world a favor. Judy Keith was abusing the trust of every client who crossed her path, not to mention every professional who associated with her.
And can you imagine what kind of opinion she must have of herself, in comparison to the rest of the world, to expect that she would get away with this??? How superior do you have to feel to everyone around you before you think that you can just dispense with the little details that pertain to the rest of us — like, for example, actually completing a valid doctoral degree before claiming you have one??
I’m glad she was caught.
I’m glad she has been brought down by her own lies and deception.
This, to me, is an example of karmic justice at work — and it makes me happy when a liar ceases to profit by their lies, and instead reaps the true consequences they have earned.
r Judy was really mean to us when we were at Timberlawn a few years back. It was FINE to be up front and rather confrontive with us– THAT is okay. Even a proper therapeutic technique that we probably needed. But when she scared us so badly that we dissociated into a small child and she KEPT ON confronting, getting in our face, and even yelling, at the small child, THAT was NOT okay. We didn’t have a good feeling about her back then, and one of the inside little ones is still scared that Dr Judy is going to “get her.” She also kept implying that we were not being truthful, that we were being manipulative, which wasn’t the truth at all. We were at Timberlawn to get help and were working as hard as we knew how. Her attitude was not helpful. She just plain scared us.
We’re kind of glad about all this.

Hello Pilgrim and mae especially –
I’m so sorry you guys had such a negative experience, especially in a hospital environment that you’d think would be more protective and supportive of you.
We intend to update on this issue if we learn anything more.
