Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Yisroel Goodman, LCSW. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate unresolved trauma, relationship conflict, and emotional disconnection. My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly effective, research-backed method that helps clients deepen emotional bonds, break unhealthy cycles, and foster more fulfilling relationships.

My approach to therapy

My work is centered around helping people understand how their past experiences have shaped their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Whether you’re feeling stuck in painful patterns, struggling with communication, or seeking deeper intimacy, I provide a compassionate and structured space for healing and growth. I also offer individual support for those currently in or considering couples therapy who want to process their personal challenges and gain clarity in their relationships.

What you can expect from me

With a background in clinical social work and training in attachment theory and trauma-informed care, I help clients heal from old wounds, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with their authentic selves. I am passionate about this work because I love seeing people rediscover the joy, love, and innocence they may have lost along the way.

If you would like to set up an appointment with me, but can't find a time in my schedule that works for you, give me a call or send a message and I'll work with you to find a time that works for both of us.
