As a professional and multicultural individual who has lived in several countries, I understand the profound impact of living and working outside one's own culture, often without the familiar support of family and friends. The pursuit of a successful career can demand significant sacrifices, and I recognize the losses that often accompany the gains. Whether you're facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, health challenges, or navigating neurodiversity, I provide a safe and affirming space for people from all walks of life, including individuals who identify as LGBTQ+. Together, let's embark on a journey of healing and growth.

Do you feel overwhelmed, under prepared, or just plain scared? You aren't alone - we all have periods of transition.
When our relationships aren't working, it can effect all areas of our lives. Whether the problem is communication, sex, intimacy, or facing change, it can be invaluable to have someone guide you to achieve your goals - providing perspective, encouragement, empowerment, and even an occasional kick in the butt. I will help you set and pursue your goals - becoming your best asset, not your own worst enemy. I do this in a LGBTQ-affirrmative and alternative lifestyle-friendly space. Supporting safe, sane, and consensual choices and options.

I aim to remain culturally sensitive to issues of race, diversity, generational differences, and stand as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
I enjoy working with college students, professionals in healthcare, caregivers, singles that are dating/looking to date, single parents, newly divorced or separated, and specifically young adult couples looking to improve their relationships amidst juggling school, work, new baby, or life transitions. I also have a strong interest in helping individuals who struggle with the bi-cultural experience and inter-generational conflicts.

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.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
