Therapists in Addison, TX

Individuals who are involved in domestic abuse and trauma may experience feelings of sadness, loss, isolation, lacking a support system, or problems with their self-esteem. My goal is to help you work through these personal experiences during therapy and provide you with acceptance, warmth, and empathy to help you heal.

I have a strong desire to help people become the most authentic version of themselves, and I work to provide a safe and compassionate space for people to explore their strengths and resilience.

Societal norms have taught us we should be at a certain place in our life by a certain age, generational traumas don't exist, being one gender or loving one gender is an anomaly and that being "traditional" is the road map to a happy life. The unrealistic expectations for who we are can be suffocating that it leaves us numb with no one to turn to. I am here to be your sacred friend, a pillar in self-discovery and offer a different perspective. I am here to watch you snatch your power back and indulge in having grace with yourself during this time of self-identity through self-awareness, self-care, self-love and self expression.

Counseling is supposed to be convenient, effective and helpful. Through evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and DBT, we are able to process trauma, explore and establish coping skills, and slowly but surely, start living again. I've worked in the nonprofit sector helping victims of domestic violence as well as other issues to include addiction, personality disorders, and family conflict.

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.

The path of progress comes from collaboration in an atmosphere of cooperation, education, and insight. Whether our stress is around our internal needs, people close to us, or with the state of the world, the counseling relationship is about accessing and utilizing your innate ability to learn and grow from where you are into the better life you seek. Covid-19 has disrupted nearly all our connections with friends, family, work, and community. This has brought out the unfulfilled need for connection in relationships already stressful, and has inspired people to find creative ways of strengthening connection.

Life can sometimes lead you to situations that you could never imagine you would be in. You can often think “What do I do next? where do we go from here”?

Are you newly engaged and want to make sure your relationship is rooted in healthy communication, transparency, and trust? I work with clients who may feel these things and are opened to taking the next step to explore solutions. Therapy with me can make life feel hopeful again.
