Ann Goldman(She/Her/Hers)

Ann Goldman is a kind, thoughtful, empathetic Marriage and Family Therapist with advanced training in the areas of loss, grief, and bereavement. She specializes in empowering adults at any stage of life — young adult through senior living — to find meaning and peace while living through painful experiences.

Many clients initiate therapy to address turbulence in a relationship, a challenging life transition, or change in their quality of life. Ann is particularly passionate about serving people experiencing loss whether it is caused by death, divorce, illness, or other tragedy. From the very beginning, a safe environment is established for the client, forming a strong therapeutic relationship, ensuring the clients’ needs and wishes are heard and understood. Ann utilizes clinically proven psychodynamic principle in session, with advanced methodology to identify the often complex factors leading to particular emotions or behavioral patterns. Through therapy, clients learn about the sources of their troubles, find new ways to avoid distress and strengthen their mechanisms to cope during challenging life experiences.

For over 25 years, Ann has worked at local community clinics and schools in service of helping individuals and families. She also supervises the training of Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) Associates and other professionals working with patients, as she is accredited as an AAMFT approved supervisor.  Ann received her Master’s degree from Pepperdine University in Clinical Psychology and continually pursues advanced training through courses and study groups to stay current with clinical advances in the field.

Ann presently offers remote therapy sessions. In the future, in-person sessions will be possible at her clinic in Old Towne Orange.
