Inna Goldberg, LICSW

I specialize in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy; these approaches are particularly suited for such issues as coping with loss, reducing self-criticism, increasing a sense of cohesion and self-worth following traumatogenic experiences, reconciling sources of conflict about the various identities that one inhabits, adjusting to transitions and changes, understanding and modifying personality factors that drive repeating relationship patterns/choices, and strengthening one’s relationship to creativity, interests and vitality. Often, I work with people whose prior therapy experience(s) was symptom-oriented or brief but who found themselves wondering if there is something more.
I also often work with people navigating academia, such as graduate students and post-docs. I am particularly passionate about graduate student mental health and am aware of the unique stressors often faced by doctoral students, as well as the factors that make it more challenging to reach out for support. I am aware of the ways that concerns pertaining to identity, belonging and family of origin often begin to come to the fore when one finds themselves in a new environment and/or a new academic/professional endeavor.
