Olga Goodman, LCSW EMDR certified trauma therapist

Trauma competent therapy for driven, independent professionals. EMDR Therapy in San Diego & El Cajon, CA. In person & online.

Make peace with your past. Create a safe and connected future.

Lately, you've been so overwhelmed that you feel like you are just going through the motions.

You often find yourself wondering “is something wrong with me?” and have a hard time trusting that others genuinely care about you. When other people are around, you feel like you have to “put on a face” and then replay social interactions in your head again and again, worrying if you said or did something that might get you rejected. You have been described as “strong,” but you are tired of being so strong all the time and want to feel cared for.

or may be you....

  • Get blindsided by anger and other powerful emotions, snap at others, and end up feeling guilty and ashamed.
  • Have a past history of trauma, neglect, or abuse that you know is still impacting important areas of your life.
  • Feel unable to turn off the critical self-talk that constantly reminds you that what you do or who you are is “not enough.”

A warm welcome! I’m Olga

You’ve come to the right place if you are seeking a long-lasting, sustainable change, rather than just putting band-aids on your emotional wounds. Through the work we’ll do together, you can gain a deep understanding of subconscious patterns that drive your behavior and break free from the cycles you are stuck in. We’ll work on developing self-compassion to boost your sense of worth and improve your relationships. Over time, you’ll build mastery of your emotions and be able to confidently handle anything life might throw your way.

I believe in the healing power of human relationships; that’s why I prioritize making my office a safe place where you can feel truly seen and accepted.
