Lauren Goodman

While providing a nonjudgmental environment, I offer warmth, compassion, and empathy while serving my clients, in an effort to assist them with identifying and achieving their desired outcomes. I focus on helping my clients gain insight and awareness into themselves, their problems/barriers and relationships, so they can become active agents of change in their lives, and become a person with whom they are content.

Areas of focus: AD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationships and dating. Provides individual, couples, & family counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. I am a nationally certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.

I am currently in the process in becoming certified in treating individuals with AD/HD.

Sometimes it can be very difficult to take that step to initiate and begin counseling services, whether or not you have received them in them in the past. I understand finding the right therapist can be daunting, so I invite you to take your time to speak with me and ask all the necessary questions to help you determine if I am the right fit for you.

My approach is making therapy a collaborative environment. My aim is for you not to be in therapy forever by helping you get your therapeutic needs met so you can meet your treatment goals. I am not the type of therapist who will just sit and nod my head as you speak. I will offer feedback, insight and ask you questions that will help you challenge some of your harmful thoughts. You will gain more insight and self-awareness. you will also have a place where you can just express your thoughts and feelings, and receive empathy.

The first session will include an assessment session where I will collect information about you current circumstances and concerns, so I can better understand how to best support you. This session will look different from typical sessions as we will not be going deep into thoughts & feelings.
