LISA GOLDFINE, PH.D.

Women have unique mental health needs. Too often these needs are overlooked or minimized in traditional therapy settings. I created my practice specifically in the hopes of providing a safe, dedicated space for women as they navigate their current phase of life, whether it’s thinking about getting pregnant, struggling to become pregnant or stay pregnant, dealing with the “baby blues” or other postpartum issues, trying to feel like an effective parent to a newborn, toddler, or school-aged child or adolescent, entering peri-menopause, and beyond. No matter where you fall on this life-stage continuum, I am here to help you better understand yourself and to work through your troubles together. My passion for promoting women’s mental health was born during my undergraduate years at Barnard College. Since then, I have devoted my career to providing treatment tailored to women’s unique mental health needs. In my private practice, I address family and romantic relationships, fertility and pregnancy related issues, the transition to motherhood, sexual trauma, and body image issues. This focus has been enriching for me, and I always gain a new appreciation for the unique experiences of every woman I meet through my practice.
