Hello, may name is a, Alicia, I have a BA in psychology from Boston University, as well as an MA in Professional Counseling from Lesley University. I am a Independently Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. My manner is attentive, warm, accepting and non-judgmental. I believe that each person possesses the strength to heal. My theoretical orientation is cultural and relational. It seems that when we are able to discuss our true feelings with another that we can trust, we are better able to "hear" ourselves think, and in turn less indecisiveness. Your insights will shed light as to why you might be experiencing difficult emotions. I facilitate the conversation by listening to all of your life experiences, not merely centering on one aspect of your life, bull all experiences you identify that brought you to therapy. I utilize evidenced based methods such as Dialectical Behavioral Treatment (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) as interventions to support you with your goals. I offer a safe place for you to work through difficult thoughts, emotions and create a collaborative treatment plan specific to what you need and want out of psychotherapy focusing on positive outcomes.
One authentic approach I utilize is listening, and that I resonate with DBT which is founded on Mindfulness, not being directive, listening, and not judging is the overall foundation I strive to provide to my patients.
I specialize in individual and LGBTQ issues, depression, Bipolar, and anxiety. My practice demystifies the system by de-stigmatizing the myths of mental health related issues, as there are more similarities than there are differences. My approach is Relational and Multicultural. I believe I can help with my years of experience and with my passion for what I do. I love people and I love helping people achieve their dreams.

Alicia Goodman is such a sweet, attentive and kind councilor.
She listens and is fully engaged throughout our sessions. I feel like she cares and genuinely wants to help me to do and be better. So far she’s been providing me with the tools that I need to overcome my issues.
I love that I always leave our sessions feeling empowered.

Alicia-A very supportive therapist. She understands me. She respects me. She listens and gives me suggestions or examples of life scenarios to make me aware that I'm not alone in this. I feel safe. She makes me feel safe and that's more than what you could ask for a therapist.

I am not the type of person that has ever been particularly interested in attending therapy, but with Alicia I notice that I am able to discover something new or clarify how I feel about a subject in every session. She has been super helpful and accommodating!

I am so happy Alicia and I were matched. She is warm and funny and intelligent. She established a nice rapport very quickly and I felt understood by her right from the beginning. I feel easy with her and feel she is my ally. A couple months into counseling I feel we are on a good trajectory together. I struggle with bipolar disorder rapid cycling, and having a person like Alicia, there to listen to my week’s events and then go deeper into my “self”, is as important to my stability as medication is. I am learning some new skills like DBT. Alicia is also quite insightful and has given me things to really consider several times already, often having this knack of hitting the nail on the head.
Alicia is easy to recommend.

Honestly, Alicia Goodman has gone above and beyond to make each session comfortable and most importantly Alicia is very non judgmental and easy to talk to. I have learned so much from her in my 3 sessions with her.

She is very helpful and an excellent listener. The worksheets she sends help out a lot with figuring things out and getting a better grasp on my life and why I feel the way I do.

Alicia Goodman is an amazing therapist. This was my first time going to therapy and she was the first counselor I spoke with. She is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, funny, and down to earth. Obviously I lucked out, in getting matched with her. This process is working very well for me because of the work I do with Dr. Goodman.

I love her! I am a resident doctor so my schedule is busy and in the past I have tried but not been motivated to consistently go to therapy. Alicia has changed that for me, and she has made a huge impact. She is attentive, charismatic, understanding, helpful, and is able to tailor her approach to what will be most useful in the moment. I really appreciate her use of evidence-based treatments and a very human, compassionate, conversational style. My friends and family members have noticed a difference and I definitely have too!

I highly recommend Alicia Goodman. She is making such a difference and I have only had two sessions. I feel safe, heard and supported. She is getting to the root of my issues and I also appreciate the work sheets and goals. They are helping so much.
