Michal Goldman LCSW relationship counseling
Relationships are a core component of happiness. When we struggle in relationships, everything else can feel harder too.
I'm Michal Goldman, LCSW, a trauma-informed relational therapist with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and discernment counseling.
I specialize in helping couples at pivotal points:
couples who are unsure if they should stay together
couples seeking deeper emotional and sexual intimacy
individuals working to heal relational wounds.
I approach therapy with deep compassion, evidence-based methods, and a belief that change is possible even in the most painful places.
Drawing from interventions which have been proven to work, I tailor the work to meet your unique needs. I invite you to reach out if you're seeking greater clarity, connection, and healing.
And for the nitty gritties about my credentials...
I'm a licensed clinical social worker in New York (license # 092547). I specialize in couples therapy, relationship challenges, and discernment counseling. I have conducted extensive postgraduate training in emotionally focused therapy (which is often considered the gold standard treatment for couples work because of its high success rate and lasting results after treatment ends).
In addition to EFT, I have advanced training modalities including:
internal family systems (IFS)
sex therapy
solution focused therapy
dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
somatic therapy
discernment counseling
The therapeutic approaches I use are supported by research and have been shown to help individuals and couples reconnect and heal and experience meaningful change quicker. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and am constantly increasing my skill set to help you in the most effective, evidence-based ways possible.
My goal is to help you increase clarity, and give you tools to communicate more deeply, heal past wounds, and build more loving, secure relationships.
To sum up, as Carl Rogers said:
"Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul just be another human soul"
Struggles in relationships can feel overwhelming, and first and foremost, I respect your journey and am honored to be supporting you in the process.
