Trauma Focused Therapists in San Francisco, CA
I offer brief, solution-focused coaching designed specifically for you and your co-parent to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your partnership. My aim is to start with you, the primary caregivers, to improve family dynamics and ensure that all family members benefit from a cohesive and supportive parental approach. Through our coaching sessions, we will tackle the relational strains and conflicts that naturally emerge between partners due to the stress of caregiving for a child with physical or neurological differences.

Therapy is hard to define. We each carry our own singular experience into the process: our unique histories, our complex tapestry of relationships, our love, our pain, our wounds, and our scars. Therapy is as unique and complex as each of us, thus we each experience it in our own way. I believe our complexity is a gift, although at times our lives can feel like a mystery, even to ourselves. We feel stuck and confused, unsure of how to heal or grow, and we wonder if we can ever truly thrive. Many of us wonder if there’s a recipe for our healing and growth, or if perhaps there’s a map we could follow, if only we could find it.

I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive, empathic, or intuitive. Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system that is a huge gift when made conscious. They experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they often experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support sensitive people on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

Whether you are dealing with mood or anxiety difficulties that you have lived with for years, or facing a crisis as a result of an unexpected event, I will help you face this challenge and emerge stronger. For those seeking resolution of a specific problem or set of symptoms, or interpersonal and relationship difficulties, I take a fairly structured, goal-oriented approach. I also provide rehabilitation therapy to individuals recovering from concussion and complex medical problems. I work with you to minimize concussive symptoms and refer to appropriate rehabilitation services as needed. I assist with return to work or school.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to transform their inner and relational conflicts into opportunities for growth and life change. I have seen deep transformation take place in clients when they begin to learn compassion for themselves and begin to address the source of their symptoms so that true and lasting change can occur. Clients I work with most are those suffering from mood disorders, complex trauma, PTSD, midlife transitions, and relationship issues. I also offer support to family members of individuals with mood disorders, PTSD and ADD/ADHD. I also offer clinical supervision to associates.

I work with people-pleasing millennials who want to heal from past emotional wounds and stop self-sabotaging. Do you struggle with anxiety, body image and patterns of self-judgment? Always putting others needs before your own? The traumas and abuse you experience throughout your lifespan- big or small, can warp the way you see yourself, making you question everything, overthink, and cause you to stand in your own way. If this feels relatable, you are not alone. I will work with you to break through these barriers, heal, and create a life that aligns with your values.

We all face challenges in our lives and sometimes we need some extra support to help us overcome them. My name is Lindsay Goodlin and I founded California Therapist in 2017 with the goal of bringing quality therapy to clients all across California - without having to set foot in a therapy office. Through HIPAA compliant video software, I have been providing therapy to Adults and Teens from my home office for the past 7 years (yes, I started pre-pandemic!) and have been working as a therapist for almost 20 years.

How do you wish to engage in life? Are you getting what you want? Are you getting too much of what you don’t want? We average over 6000 (mostly negative) thoughts a day. Are you wishing for more loving relationships, good will, affection and purpose in your life? Pain rolls through our lives and understandably we wish to avoid it. We often deflect pain but inevitably it returns. Our habitual behaviors take root over many years, often initially helpful but later in life constrict us. I offer an approach to notice how you incur distress by turning toward what you wish to avoid with a sense of curiosity and care.

I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life. With expertise gathered from years of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside men and women into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, in-between/intersecting identities, worldwide travelers, high-achieving/performing and creative people. I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified and was formerly a clinical supervisor and psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.
