Serena Goldsmith

My communication style

I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, understood, cared about, and supported. I communicate in a relaxed, personable, and non-judgmental way, and have been told that I have a calming presence that allows others to feel safe and accepted. I move at the pace with which my clients are comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

My lived experience with a mood disorder and recovery journey inform my practice with deep empathy and understanding. I have a passion for helping others overcome challenges and reach their optimal potential. It is a privilege to walk alongside you on your unique journey.

My goals for you

I help you identify your values to align goals with what matters most, increasing motivation. I encourage setting SMART goals to stay on track and measure progress. My philosophy is that we are a team, walking alongside one another, openly communicating, and working together.

Our first session

During the first session, we'll focus on what brought you to therapy and how I may assist you. I may ask about your history and future aspirations. We'll also evaluate whether I'm a good fit for your needs, and if not, I'll help you find the best provider for you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish, Spiritual
