Geoffrey David Goodman, PhD

For me, psychotherapy is offering patience, understanding, insight, relationship, and a secure base to persons suffering from burdens too heavy to carry alone. I compare myself to a container into which my patients pour their unbearable feelings. My task is to detoxify these feelings and make them easier to understand and tolerate. I help my patients to use healthy relationships with others to meet their emotional needs and the emotional needs of others. I maintain a clinical practice for the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults in New City, Rockland County, and Brookville, Long Island, New York. My areas of expertise with children and adolescents include disruptive behavior disorders, attachment disorders, codependency on a parent suffering from sex addiction, and the consequences of childhood physical and sexual abuse. My areas of expertise with adults include severe personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder, sex addiction, and codependency. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist, certified child, adolescent, and adult psychoanalyst, certified sex addiction therapist, certified sex therapist, and registered play therapist. I use a variety of clinical techniques uniquely suited to the suffering individual, which include psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, play therapy, family and couples therapy, and task-based therapies.
