DepressionAlmost everyone has experienced some form of depression in their lifetime. It's a problem if the depression lingers. The good news is that most depression is highly treatable.

AnxietyThroughout one's lifetime, most people will experience anxiety. By definition, anxiety is WORRY. A certain degree of WORRY is not only normal but, on occasion, WORRYING can be helpful. For example, if you have some anxiety about your school grades or work performance, you may be motivated to study or work harder. This is normal and to be expected. But, all too often, heightened anxiety becomes overwhelming causing frequent problems in daily living.

Couples CounselingAll couples experience problems. Some couples have good problem solving skills while others need some help in that regard. The key is to work with a therapist trained in Couples Counselling. Dr. Goldman adheres to the teachings of the Gottman Institute which conducted over 40 years of clinical research in the field of Couples Counselling.

Family Therapy
Many problems that seem to be related to the individual are, in fact, a family matter. That means the patient to be treated is the whole family. Attachments, bonding & communication often needs to be improved. Feelings of safety and trust may be present but sometimes need a voice to be heard. Other times, safety and trust needs to be developed. Family therapy sets the scene for each member of the family to express his or her needs in an environment of safety & respect. The family dynamic is usually very complex because it is a mix of intergenerational values and experiences. This type of therapy addresses this uniqueness and beauty of the family. For some, adult & child alike, this is the first opportunity to be a healthy, thriving, wonderful family.

Child and Adolescent Therapy
Children & teens have their own language. Whether it's expressed with play therapy, music, athletics &/or social media, we must be on the same page as them. I've had sessions playing catch with a 13 year old, coloring with a 9 year old girl, sitting at my keyboard while chatting with a 16 year old, or listening to hip-hop. If these kids are experiencing adversity, abuse, bullying, or neglect they need and deserve a safe place to express themselves. They expect me to understand their world. Maybe having 9 grandchildren ranging from 5 to 18 has prepared me to listen with kindness, compassion and curiosity.

All couples experience problems. Some have good problem solving abilities while others have great difficulties in this area. Problems with couples range from lack of intimacy to trust issues and betrayal issues with sexuality, finances, and, of course, problems with communication.
For some, the love and the fondness and respect that once existed has all but disappeared. The question then becomes, how can you overcome these relationship hurdles and get the feelings you once had back again? That's what couples therapy is all about. These problems are most often solvable and a Gottman trained therapist has the skills to help you build back whats needed so the couple may thrive.
