Life can be messy! I would like to help you feel more grounded and supported to navigate the challenges. My interests include working with young adults—maybe you are struggling to adjust to college, working, “adulting,” or having relationship issues.

With 9 years of experience as a clinician and school social worker, I specialize in providing therapeutic services that promote emotional well-being, resilience, and personal growth in children, adolescents and families.

My approach is centered on creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel heard and valued.

Our mind is a battlefield. Individuals often fight thoughts and feelings of guilt, shame, worthlessness, and regret throughout their lifetime and often engage in maladaptive behaviors to medicate the pain they are dealing with. Many times mental health problems stem from spiritual issues and deep rooted, distorted core beliefs. When life gets rough, these core beliefs often rise to the surface and cause us to go in a downward spiral of depression and negative harmful behaviors. Therapy is a powerful ally to help conquer the negative and often debilitating thoughts that try to take over every aspect of our lives.

Do you stuff your feelings down and know now is the time to get support for your journey? Have you used self-help but found it doesn’t go as deep as you need? Do you measure your worth by how useful or accomplished you are? My name is Ebonie Goulbourne and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker passionate about helping people heal and thrive. I am a Black, Queer, First Generation Jamaican-American, and I firmly believe therapy is a key to developing authenticity, joy and self compassion.

One can have the desire to change, but it’s the Courage to take the first step that produces change. You are making a Courageous decision today and I applaud you for that! Therapy is a collaborative effort where we continually take steps to identify and create the change one seeks. My goal as a clinical social worker is three-fold: 1. To help you attain clarity in the matters that negatively impact your life, and 2. To support you as we identify options for dealing with those matters and create the change.

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and, most importantly, heard. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life’s demands and feel like no one is on your side. Depression, anxiety, and stress can make us feel as if there is nowhere else to go. Or we develop coping methods that are not aligned with our life goals. If pouring from an empty cup is no longer an option for you, then I commend you for taking the first step towards your new journey.
