About me
I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 36 years of professional work experience. I earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia, a program accredited by the APA (American Psychological Association). I have worked in a variety of settings, including group practices and hospitals. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have also specialized in working with survivors of suicide, in behavioral medicine/health psychology approaches, as well as embracing Positive Psychology. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jay Goodman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I highly recommend Dr. Goodman to anyone who needs both an empathetic listener who tracks your issues and relationships across time and someone who will also help you see where you are contributing to your own problems. He's consistently caring, humorous, and supportive.

Dr. Goodman has been a huge help to me as I have navigated therapy in support of my addition to alcohol. He’s given me great guidance and given me a few good pushes that I needed to do things important for my well-being.
