Lynne Goldsmith
Hello. My name is Lynne Goldsmith. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. My community counseling master’s degree is from the University of Nevada. My approach is collaborative and aimed at empowering you and helping you to find more peace and emotional comfort in your life in a way that you choose. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step as the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said. Having small specific goals can be that start toward finding more fulfillment and joy in your life. I hope to be of help.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I find that a lot of the time clients feel better just by talking--getting something out that maybe hasn't been expressed before. From the first session of our learning things about one another for counseling, we also can start to help you figure out small step(s) for navigating whatever it is that may be impacting you on different levels.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am patient and wanting to be of help. I am not here to be a "judge" of you or your unique situation.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Currently I am meeting with individual adults who are eighteen years and older--people of different backgrounds and cultures, ethnicities, races, spiritual beliefs/non-beliefs, political views, gender orientations, sexual orientations, ages, living situations, educational levels, economic status, physical/mental/emotional abilities and challenges. A lot of people are dealing with stressors in relationships, the workplace, their family, finances, grief, loss, career/life direction, time management, self-esteem, schooling, parenting, substance use/abuse/dependence, past and present trauma, and lack of clarity about the resources within and around them.
