More about Hilary Goodfriend, LCAT

Professional Philosophy I utilize behavior therapy that combines mindfulness skills with the practice of self-acceptance and awareness, as well as guided meditation. My methodology includes developing mindfulness, which helps by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment. In doing so, it helps with accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations without allowing them to control or overwhelm them. I work with adults and children of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, and substance abuse, as well as adults with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). I utilize art therapy, talk therapy, and psychotherapy techniques to help facilitate a therapeutic relationship with my clients so that they can gain self-esteem and self-worth, improve communication, and find balance in their lives. Personal Background What inspired me? Two things: first, when my grandmother had a stroke and went to art therapy. I saw less depression, and she healed faster cognitively. Second, I realized that art can be a powerful tool in allowing the young and old to express themselves when they don’t have the words to describe how they are feeling. My favorite part of being an art therapist is seeing people begin to heal, move forward, and become self-empowered. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Art Therapy from Long Island University, Brookville.
