Getting to know Em Goodman

Hi there, I'm Em! I help my clients realize their personal goals through a trauma-informed and empathic approach. My expertise is working with people who have experienced a traumatic event, uncovering obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their fullest potential. My approach I incorporate various interventions tailored specifically to meet my clients' individual needs using psychotherapy, solution-focused interventions, mindfulness practices, crisis intervention, insight-oriented techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies. My focus I work with adolescents, individuals, and families who have experienced trauma and/or are experiencing mental health struggles. My communication style I provide a calm, safe, non-judgmental space and tone for clients to share their experiences. I focus on each client's specific needs and goals, offering empathic listening with a warm, direct, and humorous approach. My journey to mental healthcare My lived experience brought me to help others as I would have loved to be helped: someone to tell me I'm not alone. Life is hard, and traumas become unbearable without someone in your corner to help process what you have been through. My education I earned my PsyD from Pacifica Graduate Institute, which deepened my understanding of trauma and healing. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is collaborative and reflects outcomes that help clients become their most functional and authentic selves. My first session with you I get to know you and begin building a foundation for our work together.
