Rob Goodman
Hi, I’m Rob. I hail from Steubenville, Ohio. Let’s jump right in. Life is hard- we all need a little help and support on the journey. I see myself as walking beside the people with whom I work. Some need to look into the past and process it, receiving a different perspective on it.
People are ones that hurt us, we're also the ones that heal each other.
Some have a specific goal in mind like decreasing anxiety by learning new skills in a short period of time. Others need a listening ear, with some insights sprinkled in. Others still, benefit from clarity and analysis. What do you need? I believe the interpersonal connection between counselor and client can be healing in and of itself. People are ones that hurt us, we're also the ones that heal each other.
First session
We’ll start by me first telling you a bit about myself. I’ll ask if you have any questions about the paperwork you filled out for Grow, review confidentiality, and what brought you to therapy. This first session is unique in that there are questions about your social/relational, medical, and mental health. All subsequent sessions are more fluid conversationally.
Strengths
I care a lot about my clients and that is often a healing experience for people in and of itself. To know someone cares can instill a lot of hope in a person. I am insightful, compassionate, and direct at times.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is highly motivated for healing/personal development/growth. They will be committed to weekly therapy in the beginning. If a person is open, honest and willing - we can learn and grow. Therapy with me is an opportunity for that.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
My specialty is insight oriented psychotherapy, with an interpersonal dynamic component.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive processing is helpful in resolving past and present issues and incorporating healing into who you are today.
Interpersonal
I believe the interpersonal connection between counselor and client can be healing in and of itself. People are the ones that hurt us, we're also the ones that heal each other. Also, most people want to talk about their relationships at some point.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We'll look at how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors, observing and offering adjustments and insights as needed.
