Getting to know Howard Grossman

Hi there, I'm Howard! Hello, I'm Howard Grossman, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from Golden Gate University. My areas of specialty include anxiety, phase of life issues, trauma, and chronic pain. My approach Many therapists like to stick to one modality, and that can be fine. But I believe that the greatest service you can do for clients is to provide them with as many treatment options as possible. After all, what may work for one person may not work for another. By incorporating various modalities into a therapeutic approach, I can design a more dynamic and comprehensive healing plan. In addition to EMDR, I use elements of ego-state therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for course-correcting harmful thought and behavior patterns. Somatic Therapy is a powerful tool for identifying, unlocking, and releasing trauma, stress, and anxiety in the body. Similarly, because I also understand the importance of addressing the mind/body connection, I often incorporate mindfulness and meditation into sessions. In some ways, that reflects both my eclectic therapeutic nature and the inspiration I draw from Buddhism and spirituality—two important aspects of my life that also inform my healing philosophy. My focus I typically work with motivated clients who are ready to work on resolving the underlying issues that are preventing them from leading the life they desire. My communication style Friends and people who know me would say that I am warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental; I think I am also down-to-earth and honest. That is why, although you can always count on me for empathetic support and guidance, I will not sugarcoat things. You are here for answers and solutions—not lip service. And while I will never judge or push you harder than you are ready for, I will be sure to hold you accountable for your own healing and growth.
