Richard Goldin, LCSW

Richard Goldin, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
Hi there, I'm Richard! I am Richard Goldin, LCSW, with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago. My approach is to help individuals and couples overcome struggles in their emotional well-being and embrace new perspectives and "tools." The goal in therapy is to grow and change to experience life and relationships in a more positive, wholehearted way. My approach By helping individuals embrace healthy new perspectives and use "tools" to apply these perspectives, the result is a whole new, more positive way of experiencing life and relating to others. I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, Exploration of Values and Cultivating Life Purpose, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help my clients work through adversity and negative emotions to reach a space where life and relationships are experienced in a positive, wholehearted way. I also make extensive use of outside resources-podcasts, readings-to help my clients move forward. My focus I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples. Issues I have knowledge in include depression/anxiety, substance use, relationship challenges in committed intimate and extended family relationships, childhood adversity leading to trauma responses in emotional processing, ADHD, LGBTQ issues, lack of clarity in purpose and direction, grief and loss, and anger management. I utilize effective clinical tools and also incorporate healthy spirituality in my counseling practice. My communication style In sessions, I begin by getting to know the individuals and couples I work with, learning about your history individually or as a couple. Follow-up sessions start with reflecting on highs and lows since the last therapy session, as well as working on our goals. My journey to therapy I pursued a career in mental health as a therapist after having a life-changing experience in therapy.
