Ann Goodman
Welcome! Finding the right therapist is a courageous first step, and I’m honored you’re considering me for your journey. Whether you are navigating relationship hurdles, processing personal struggles, or simply feeling stuck and ready for growth, you don't have to figure it out alone.
My own journey has given me a deepened understanding of the therapeutic process and reinforces my commitment to supporting others on their paths to healing and growth.
My approach as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is rooted in deep compassion, authenticity, and respect for your unique story. Together, we will create a safe space to untangle life’s complexities and build a path toward a more fulfilling, balanced life. Let’s take that next step together.
First session
Our first session you will receive a brief introduction explaining my approach, confidentiality, and the therapeutic process. Next, I will invite you to share your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a provider is that I have been a client. I can personally attest to the transformative effects of therapy. My own journey has given me a deepened understanding of the therapeutic process and reinforces my commitment to supporting others on their paths to healing and growth.
Ideal clients
I work with adults aged 35–55 who feel deeply disconnected from themselves, stuck in old patterns, and weighed down by untreated past wounds. If your identity feels lost and your relationships are straining under the weight, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll untangle the past, reclaim who you are, and build the vibrant, authentic life you’re craving.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives you the blueprint to master your mindset and navigate life's challenges with confidence. I use this approach to help you shift from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.
Trauma-Informed Care
My trauma-informed approach honors your past, respects your boundaries, and empowers you to rebuild a sense of control over your life. Healing starts with safety.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In person-centered therapy, my role isn't to fix you or tell you what to do, but to provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can safely discover your own path to growth. You are the expert on your own life.
