Goodman Psychotherapy Associates offers individual therapy, from a relational lens, integrating aspects of psychodynamic, feminist, cognitive behavioral, and client-centered interventions. Dr. Goodman also has training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. At this time, Goodman Psychotherapy Associates regrets that we are not accepting couples for treatment.
What to Expect AT My first session
The first session will last 50 minutes and will focus on getting to know each other and planning treatment goals. Together you and Dr. Goodman will go over the forms and clarify any issues. During the first session you may be asked questions about your symptoms, your relationships, your past experiences and your family history among other subjects. You will have a chance to ask any questions you'd like. This is when we will start to figure out if we are a good fit. If not, Dr. Goodman will offer referrals elsewhere.
