Getting to know Yisroel Goodman

*** This provider is affiliated with Headway. To book with this provider you will need to create a Headway account*** Are you feeling stuck in unresolved trauma or relationship dissatisfaction? Maybe you find yourself repeating painful patterns, unable to communicate your needs, or feeling disconnected from your partner. Perhaps you long for deeper intimacy but don't know how to get there. Healthy, fulfilling relationships are possible, and I can help. I work with individuals and couples to heal old wounds, strengthen emotional connections, and create meaningful change. Whether you're in couples therapy, considering it, or seeking individual support, I provide a space to help you gain clarity and work through challenges. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach.

What should a new client know about working with you?

By exploring what makes you feel safe, valued, and connected in relationships, we can uncover what helps you feel truly loved and how to express that with your partner. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-backed approach that helps individuals and couples build deeper bonds, break unhealthy cycles, and create more secure relationships.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I understand that choosing a therapist can be difficult based on just a picture and a few paragraphs. That’s why I’m happy to offer a free 15-minute consultation—so we can get to know each other and see if we’d be a good fit. Let’s take the first step together. Schedule your free consultation today, and let’s start creating the change you’re looking for!
