Dr. Goldberg's Holistic Approach

Partnering with you on your journey to mental wellness is a true privilege for me. I have two primary goals for your successful journey. First, the process should be easy. Second, the work should be hard.

You’ve taken a big step in seeking out this website, and an even bigger step in scheduling your first appointment with me. You’ve already done something so hard for so many. You deserve this next part to be easy. Whether it’s the ease of scheduling, direct access to me or getting your prescriptions where and when you need them, you deserve a smooth, streamlined and trusted process. You also deserve the comfort of your home when you are most vulnerable. That’s why my practice is almost exclusively conducted via telehealth. I will meet you where you’re at. That’s my literal, and figurative, promise.

My second goal for you is that the work we do together should be hard. Hard work, in a safe, secure and nurturing environment, can be truly life-changing. Whether we are exploring a difficult past, challenging preconceived notions, or facing fears together, it’s my honor to do this hard work with you. No worthwhile journey is easy. And your journey to mental wellness is most definitely worthwhile.

Medication:

You might also be wondering about the role for medication in your care. Your mental health is a complex interplay of many factors spanning culture, society, family, diet, exercise and more. For some people some of the time, medication is part of the answer. It is not always the answer and it is never the complete answer. Your struggles and your health are unique to you. I promise to design a management plan catered to you, based on your values, your needs and the unique complexities of your condition. Thousands of patients before you have heard me tell them, “You’re the boss!” I say this often, and I mean it every time. I’m an expert in mental health, but you are the only expert on you. I will value your expertise as we, together, chart the right path forward.

Collaboration:

I consider myself a member of your team and only one piece of the puzzle toward better mental health. This team includes your primary doctor, your therapist, your family and friends. I will work closely with your doctors and involved family to create the network of support that you deserve, and that every person needs. This is why I ask, up front, that you provide me with the names and phone numbers of those closest to you and I request that you give them my phone number as well. This is also why I’ve invested in a medical record that, with your consent, would allow me to access notes and data from other doctors and hospitals. I am committed to working with your healthcare team toward your goal of better mental health.

Thank you for being here.
