I am well rounded, hold a high level of cultural competency, and understand the unique struggles of immigration, victims of crime, racism, discrimination, systemic barriers, lack of resources, and the impact of economic hardships on mental health functioning. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and joining with my clients to help them achieve their goals. Fairly stable clients with desires to prevent potential distress. College students, first-generation graduates, the transition of life worries and bridging the gap of knowledge and rapidly shifting social norms in a highly technological society during the pandemic.

I believe that psychotherapy can be a process of healing, self-discovery, and a path towards feeling more fully alive.

Hi, I am Judy Goldman a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California with over 25 years’ experience in the mental health field. I specialize in life transitions which include loss, grief, adoption, families, children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety. Loss is not always obvious and can show up in so many aspects of our life. My approach to therapy is eclectic, incorporating elements of person-centered allowing the client to take more the lead in their sessions and in the process, to find their own solutions.

Still feeling like no one can truly understand what you are going through? Or maybe you're just seeking to find some guidance or clarity even though it almost feels nearly impossible. Together we will understand you, your goals, and improve the relationship and dynamics that are the most important to you. As an eclectic therapist we will work together to develop new tools that can help you identify and communicate your boundaries and triggers. My speciality includes working with individuals whom have experienced trauma, addiction (dual diagnosis), mild/acute/chronic mental illness, crisis counseling, mood/depression and coaching.

Do you feel as if you are emotionally stuck and need a helping hand? Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, and tired? You may be going through a life transition, relationship difficulty, or problems managing daily life. Most people go through times in their lives when they need some guidance. You don't have to go through this hardship alone. Reach out and let's get through this together. I am offering free consultations over the phone, at this time, to assess your comfort level before we have a full session. I am able to see individuals with a residence in the state of California and Nevada.

You may be struggling in a situation that, for whatever reasons, is not improving as you had hoped it would. And now you might be experiencing unwanted emotions related to COVID-19; relationship struggles; parenting; marital difficulties; family conflict; a recent trauma; or something else that is painfully impacting you and one or more of your relationships. Are you losing sleep, feeling sad, anxious, depressed, confused, or feeling helpless right now? Feeling stuck? If so and you're here, you're probably tired of trying to figure all of this out by yourself. The good news is you don't have to be alone with all of this anymore.

What is often left unsaid is your step to a better life, so let's start talking. It's possible you are struggling to find or maintain healthy relationships, or when you do- find yourself unfulfilled, lonely, or involved in a difficult breakup. Suddenly, feelings of sadness and anxiety are keeping you from being you. It’s hard to know where things keep going wrong and how to move forward with feelings of sadness and anxiety- until now.

Each of us may begin psychotherapy for different reasons; an immediate crisis or traumatic experience, painful symptoms of depression, anxiety, loneliness, addictive behaviors, or grief. Exploring early life experiences and resolving trauma while addressing the here and now can help you be more engaged with others, make progress towards what you want in life, and experience more ease. Many individuals seek more existential but no less important questions of meaning, identity, sexuality, spirituality, philosophy, gender issues, psychology, politics, and power. All of these are excellent reasons for engaging in depth psychotherapy.

Being ready to get professional help is a sign of self awareness, readiness for self growth, personal freedom and feeling more in control. Finding the right therapist is essential in building rapport, trust, and open communication. I work together with my clients to explore dynamics related to life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, worries, health problems, financial anxieties, and sudden changes in life. I use a combination of techniques including psycho-dynamic, behavioral and cognitive theories, solution focused models, and mindfulness interventions to fit each individual client's needs.

I often work with clients who struggle with never feeling good enough. This would surprise people around you as there's a good chance you've found success in life. You excelled academically, have advanced your career, and appear confident to others, but internally you feel different. The drive to perform has been an attempt to finally feel like you are enough. I can help you begin to look at how these patterns were at one time protective, but may no longer fit in your life. We will work together to heal the underlying wounds these patterns are protecting.

I am often able to identify emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing people from achieving the quality of life that they desire.

The overall primary goal of treatment in this office is to assist people in making choices that will increase the likelihood of their achieving more satisfying personal and professional success.
