“I've been seeing Jeff for a few months now and he's the best therapist I've had by far and I've had 4. I've told him things I never thought I would tell anyone and he didn't flinch or judge. I've never felt safe like this with a therapist before. It feels like I'm talking to a real person instead of a blank slate or a pure mirror, which is really important to me. I think he is a great therapist for more heady types of people. We can talk about anything from childhood trauma to anime to philosophy and sociopolitical patterns. He challenges my pre-existing beliefs and I always come out feeling smarter than before and not put down. When we talk about feelings and emotions, he explains my brain to me, instead of only comforting or validating my experience. That assurance works fine for some people, but it's never struck a note for me and I really like feeling like I'm taking a psychology class in college instead. ”

Getting to know Jeffrey Goodman

Welcome, fellow earth wanderers, to my therapy page. If you've made it this far, you are at the point of knowing something isn't quite right in your world. That means you're above and beyond the others walking through life thinking, "It's fine. I'm fine. We're fine." I am an empathetic, open-minded veteran with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Angelo State University, and I will likely have a cat join in for sessions. I have many... let's call them therapy animals. I offer a safe, inclusive, affirming space. Although I am a white male, I have years of experience working within LGBTQIA+ and POC populations and am committed to exploring unconscious bias and working in an anti-racist way.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Specializing in neurological functioning, I offer empowering therapy to enhance cognition, emotional regulation and promote healing. Together, let us embark on a personalized journey to growth, well-being, and explore your path to a better life. I can help you experience positive change with compassionate guidance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You can expect to participate in open dialogue such as talk therapy, reviewing handouts to gauge a better understanding of what certain processes are or should look like. We'll create a treatment plan to ensure we address your concerns and continue to make progress towards healing. While I will challenge you, hopefully, you'll never feel like we are not apart of the same team wanting you to be the best version of yourself. I'm very laid back in sessions and I don't believe therapy has to be "formal suite and tie" in order to make amazing progress. I've always felt that I connected more with therapists that were more relaxed in their approaches.

I love him so much
Verified patientVideo visit
excellent first session.
Verified patientVideo visit
He was great! Really supportive with strong insights about the issues I’m currently working through. I also really appreciated how mindful and inclusive he was during the sessions. I would definitely recommend him to others (and it’s always nice to see cats pop in and out during the meetings!).
It’s been really difficult finding a therapist I feel comfortable speaking with, especially with my life as I’m now openly bi. Jeff not only made me feel comfortable, but I don’t know if I’ve ever felt safe enough to talk about my sexuality/life as openly as I have with him. Really great therapist, can’t recommend enough.
Jeff was very accommodating and understanding of my relationship difficulties and helped me figure out my goals for myself and my relationship. He also helped me come to a clearer understanding of how to navigate my stressors in a more healthy way.
