About
Relationship is at the root of my work as a therapist. My goal is to establish trusting connections through empathy, humanness and humor. I work with individuals, couples and families on relationship issues as well as depression, anxiety, loss, mourning and self-esteem.One speciality is helping elders address issues of aging. I also work with groups for adult children dealing with the challenges of aging parents. My approach is insight oriented – seeking understanding of problematic patterns and their probable origins. I also attend to somatic experience (physical sensations) as an additional inroad to exploring feelings and thoughts.
Though I work with people of all ages, I specialize in working with adult children struggling to help parents meet the challenges of aging. In addition to individual work, I also run a bi-weekly support group in my Sonoma office in which adult children share issues, feelings and strategies.

Debbie Goldyne's Groups
Support group for adult children with aging parent
This group helps adult children address the issues of dealing with aging and declining parents. It is designed to create a forum in which to share the complex web of feelings related to our parents becoming "our children." Group members share strategies re arranging for increasing levels of care, dealing with parents' resistance to relinquishing independence ( giving up the car, accepting in home care or moving to an elder care facility), and the highly ambivalent feelings which accompany this difficult process.
