Michele Goodman, AMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
CA
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Coastal Counseling Collective. My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive, with the goal of creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable being fully yourself. I bring my whole self to therapy, present, attentive, and genuinely invested in your growth. I work with teens, emerging adults, elder adults, and couples, navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I also support clients through breakups, identity shifts, and the process of building confidence and boundaries. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. In sessions, I bring curiosity and energy while also creating a calm and supportive space. I’ll listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and help you connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Therapy with me is collaborative and engaging. You can expect me to show up fully present, to validate your experiences, and to gently challenge you when it’s helpful for growth. I value honesty, humor, and authenticity, and I want you to feel both supported and empowered throughout the process. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and trained at The Center for Professional Counseling. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in interior design and professional organizing, which shapes my holistic perspective: I believe our environments and systems deeply affect our well-being. I currently practice under supervision at Coastal Counseling Collective, where I offer telehealth sessions that provide flexible and accessible care. My approach blends humanistic, strengths-based, and solution-focused strategies, always tailored to your unique needs.
