Judith Minter

TRAINER for the White Feather Historical and Educational Project

Judith Minter is a retired Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a life long interest in social justice who dedicated her five decade career to working with children, adults and families in a variety of settings. Starting as a Foster Care Caseworker at Chesterfield Department of Social Services, she was able to see first hand how inequities in circumstance determined many people's lives and choices. She later worked at Middle Peninsula-Northern Neck Community Service Board as a clinician and then at Goochland-Powhatan Community Services Board where she established Virginia House in 1985, a program for the rehabilitation of those with serious mental illness. Sadly, this program closed in 2023, a casualty of the Covid pandemic. Judith served as a Social Work Supervisor and later Director of Social Work at Western State Hospital until leaving for private practice in 1992.She retired in 2019. In private practice, she saw individuals, couples and families, with a concentration in couples and relationship therapy. She presented many weekend long Imago Couples Workshops and also provided workshops in relationship therapy to other clinicians around the state.
