Judy Fleming, LMFT
I started working with clay at the age of 18 and started my small business “Ground Ceramics” in Oakland in 2012.
I am also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in my work with youth and young adults using art-based practices.
I offer private ceramics sessions, therapy services, attend occasional local craft markets, and make custom work.
I enjoy creating pieces that help ground and connect us to ourselves, each other, plants, and foods.
I welcome participants from all ages, genders, orientations, ethnicities, and abilities. I am trained in working with the nervous system and highly value ritual and ceremony.
Background and Orientation:
I graduated with my masters in Counseling Psychology from CSU East Bay. I have done many specialized trainings, such as: working with youth, somatic experiencing, trauma and addiction, grief, dream work, energy work, and gained certification in Breathwork (with David Elliott).
I see myself as a facilitator to growth and change while holding nonjudgemental space. I am encouraging, light hearted, intentional, and honest. I follow a compass of ethics, integrity, and practice healthy boundary making.
There is no one-size-fits all but my goal is to help others embody their gifts, at their own paces.
My clients are often youth, young adults, those struggling with change, infertility, identity formation, manifestation and goal setting.
