Professional statement

Goldie Gotesman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering virtual teletherapy in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Goldie specializes in helping clients with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, fertility stressors, grief, and feelings of being overwhelmed by caregiving or work responsibilities.

In our sessions, we'll create a safe space where we can explore these feelings without judgment. Together, we'll identify the root causes of your stress and anxiety, whether it's intrusive thoughts, difficulty focusing, or the demands of caregiving or grief. Understanding these triggers is crucial in developing tailored strategies to help you regain a sense of control and balance in your life.

You may be yearning for a sense of calm amidst the chaos, a feeling of being more in tune with yourself and your surroundings. Our goal is to work towards achieving that peace of mind, equipping you with practical coping mechanisms and skills to navigate life's challenges more effectively.

By incorporating evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, we'll address the negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be exacerbating your stress and anxiety. Through this process, we'll gradually reshape these patterns, developing a more positive outlook and enhancing your overall well-being.

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, but rest assured, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Your comfort and trust in our therapeutic relationship are paramount, and I'm committed to providing a compassionate and collaborative environment where you can feel heard and understood.

Together, we'll work towards unlocking your potential for a happier, more fulfilling life.
