Emily Goldman

I offer a compassionate and individualized approach to therapy, helping adults and children to navigate challenging situations and develop healthy responses to stress. I work one-on-one with clients to identify the root of their struggles and offer concrete strategies to reduce stress, improve communication, and enhance relationships. I have over a decade of experience providing support to individuals and families throughout Chicago and the north shore. My specialties include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, relationship issues, family/marital challenges, parenting support and more. I utilize a relational and collaborative approach to therapy, and incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, and Mindfulness/Relaxation. I additionally utilize play-based and creative therapy strategies with children, helping them to become better problem solvers and manage stress and emotional challenges. Taking the first step to connect with a therapist can be a difficult one, whether it is your first time or you are returning to therapy. I am here to help you or your child through this process, and offer a safe and non-judgmental environment for healing and self-improvement.
