Dr Evelyn Goodman

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Since 1979 I have specialized in the integrative treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, and relationship difficulties.”

About Me

I understand how anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties can deeply impact daily life. Since 1979, I have guided individuals and couples towards lasting well-being. We can explore the roots of your concerns, developing tailored strategies for resilience and stronger connections. My approach helps you find practical ways forward, creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Approach

Years of practice have taught me to pair steady curiosity with practical steps so therapy feels focused, manageable, and tied to your daily life. In Culver City or during secure English-language online sessions, we set a clear pace that respects work and family demands while keeping therapy purposeful. Sessions blend gentle skill-building, mindful attention to patterns, and short between-session practices you can try and report back on, all aimed at easing anxiety, lifting mood, and strengthening relationships. This approach often fits adults seeking realistic, sustainable change.
