Getting to know Jeffrey Goodman

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a singer / song writer. My day job is in a school based setting. I have unique insight into the challenges both students and educators face in caring for their mental health. Most people need space in their busy, challenging lives to talk to a person who listens, relates and has an outside perspective. I use my creative gifts to inform my own emotional work. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am happy to share those creative strategies with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clients are real people like you and me. People who generally do well in life and occasionally run into speed bumps that seem to throw us off balance. Usually after building a relationship with a good therapist, talking through some of the challenges, and focusing on solutions, we are in a better place to take on the challenges that felt overwhelming at first. With a good connection and seeing positive change, it's nice to have that familiar person to return to for check-ins when needed.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Talk therapy, strength based and focused on solutions. I offer music informed therapy for people wanting a creative outlet for talking about what's going on.
