It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by emotions; to want to push away things that bring pain; and to want to act in ways that may hurt in the long run, but help in the moment. In her clinical work, Dr. Laura believes in the power of emotions but understands that neurobiological differences, trauma, mental illness, and the demands of daily life can make sitting with painful emotions extremely challenging. Her work often focuses on helping people learn to examine and accept their feelings, strengths and challenges, and identity and act in ways that improve their lives and the lives of their children.
Dr. Laura Goodman has extensive experience conducting diagnostic assessments for children, youth, and adults with diverse clinical presentations and needs, including a variety of mental health, trauma-based, and neurodevelopmental disorders. For therapy, Laura’s practice is informed by evidence-based methods, grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship.
Laura deeply believes that change is possible and her clinical work champions the values of hope, neuroaffirming care, trauma-competency, and anti-oppressive practice.
