Em Goodman
I help my clients realize their personal goals through a trauma-informed and empathic approach. My expertise is working with people who have experienced a traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health struggles/issues, helping them uncover obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their fullest potential.
My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative and will reflect an outcome that will help my clients become their most functional and true selves.
My lived experience brought me to help others as I would have loved to be helped: someone to tell me I’m not alone. Life is hard, and traumas become unbearable without someone in your corner to help process what you have been through.

I get to know my clients by asking questions and building trust in a collaborative approach. I incorporate various interventions tailored specifically to meet my client’s individual needs using psychotherapy, solution-focused interventions, mindfulness practices, crisis intervention, insight-oriented techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies.
