Nancy Goodman, LCSW-C

Everyone is entitled to, and capable of, pursuing a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. This goal is the purpose of my work with you.

My Solution Focused approach to helping is rooted in my fundamental belief in people. It is my conviction that the human being is created with tremendous strengths and resources to deal with life. As such everyone has much greater capability than they realize. Especially when you feel overwhelmed it’s difficult to see your inherent capacities.
While I do not ignore the pain and the difficulties people want to talk about, I employ methods that are primarily focused on how you want to be and what you want for yourself that will improve the quality of your life. I help you to examine your situation so you understand that you are doing your best with the tools you have right now. My purpose is to aid you in reducing your struggles and pain by helping you to tap into your many under-appreciated, unnoticed or even perhaps ignored resources.
Specific Issues I am skilled at helping with:
I have a lot of experience helping people cope with a broad range of emotional problems including, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, anger, frustration, and trauma. I have helped people deal with their own problems across the lifecycle and the problems of their children, parents, and significant others from developmental issues and learning disabilities through to midlife challenges, and issues from the aging process, chronic physical medical conditions and dementia.
I see my primary role as a therapist is to hold up a mirror with you to help you see you are already doing things that are working well for you. These resources can be applied to increase your efficacy in dealing with your problems.
