Getting to know Dr. Michael Golinkoff

I am a doctoral level clinical psychologist licensed in PA and NJ. I received my degree in Clinical and Developmental Psychology from the University of Illinois - Chicago. I completed a pre-doctoral and postdoctoral fellowship at the Cornell Medical Center. I have over 30 years of experience treating adolescents, adults and older adults in individual and couples therapy. We all have patterns in our behaviors and relationships that lead to predictable outcomes. My approach focuses on identifying those patterns, learning why they exist and understanding their impact on our lives - both good and bad. I help people use that insight to gain more control of their lives and make healthy changes. I try to create a warm, supportive and safe environment that promotes curiosity and courage in my clients. It is important for me to understand what my client feels would be a better life for them and what is most important for them to achieve and improve in their life. I have had success with a wide range of clients. What is most important is that they want their lives to be better and are willing to look at their own issues as contributing to their difficulties. Many of my clients have had difficulties with relationships in their lives - with family, friends, co-workers, etc. Others have struggled with transitions in their lives and with uncertainty about how to proceed. When working with clients I want to understand why the person is seeking help and why now. I will discuss the approach that I take and answer any questions my client might have about therapy. I will also try to get a sense of the urgency and nature of their difficulties. I try to end the first session by sharing my impressions and what I would suggest would be helpful moving forward.
