Esther Goldstein is a highly trained clinician who specializes in trauma treatment and is well versed in topics relating to attachment, emotional resilience, healing relational wounds, complex post traumatic stress disorder and dissociation.
Esther uses creativity and skill in finely identifying, and treating the underlying issues beneath symptoms that are causing unrest and dis-ease in clients. Esther offers clients direction and thorough understanding of the their treatment process by clearly explaining assessments, and therapy methods. In addition, Esther brings her unique dynamism and authentic passion to all areas of her work. I'd highly recommend her as a therapist of choice when seeking therapy or consultation.

I have had the pleasure of consulting with Esther and getting to know her both as a professional and as a person. She truly cares for each and every one of her clients. She is committed to her clients that she has received specialized training in very intensive modalities including EMDR, somatic experiencing, DBT and dissociation. Esther understands the complexity of the relationship between the mind and emotions and how formative attachments play a role in our lives from life decisions to major characteristics about ourselves. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, skilled and compassionate therapist, Esther is the person to go to.
