Sharon Goldman

Hi there, I'm Sharon!

Thank you for checking out my profile. I look forward to meeting you. I am a trauma-informed, psychodynamically oriented psychologist. I engage clients about their family history but also about their current life, including work, relationships, health, interests, and parenting, if it pertains. I am trained to work with dreams.

My focus

I have worked with children doing play therapy, as well as with elders who are doing life review. That said, I currently tend to gravitate toward adults who are processing past trauma and reconstructing a positive sense of self and healthy boundaries. I have a particular interest in working with people who are recovering from abuses of prejudice.

My approach

My clients would most likely describe me as warm, validating, but "calling it" when necessary. I listen empathically and use humor when appropriate. I prefer to allow my clients to formulate and implement their own coping strategies rather than being overly directive. I am happy to guide patients more actively when the need arises.
