Dr. Goldwater is Licensed to provide psychological services in 39 States. My patients reach out to me when they feel a need to improve their performance in some aspects of their lives. They want to reach their potential and remove barriers to success. They often wish to reach the internal feeling of success. At times, self-doubt, self-criticism and, or other forms of self rejection, lead them to feel dissatisfied with actual success. In my work I help patients to learn skills to develop the ability to enjoy their success and improve their overall ability to reach important goals.
I treat mental health problems and coach patients to develop skills that are needed to enhance life. (Pessimism, hopelessness, and passivity maintain problems). Learned Optimism and active problem solving allow for change. We will use physical, verbal, and emotional tools to increase the energy and mental and emotional capacity to live intentionally NOW.
Living with intention: Body sensation, breathing techniques, mindfulness and sense of humor are valuable tools I use to help my patients add meaning to the. The change happens when we start noticing and experiencing gratitude, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness for self and others. I see problems as opportunities to learn and expand reality.
