Jennifer Goldsmith, LMFTA, M.A., M.Ed.
Individual, Couple, and Sex Therapist
Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage!
This is a brief introduction to my approach to therapy. I offer a free, 20-minute consultation to meet potential clients and learn what they’re looking for out of therapy, and to answer any questions they may have. This also gives us a chance to see if we’re a good match…
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate with an M.A. in Couple and Family Therapy and a certificate in Sex Therapy from Antioch University, Seattle.
I strive to create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where I collaborate with clients to navigate relationships, process difficult experiences, ease anxiety, and overcome feelings of shame. With kindness, compassion, and playfulness, I work with clients to uncover blocks to fulfillment, relational intimacy, and pleasure, forging new ways of being that align with clients’ values and desires.
I approach therapy from a relational lens, emphasizing the connection of trust that is created between therapist and client(s) as well as attending to the relational contexts that make up clients’ lived experiences. In my work, I help clients attune to the inherent wisdom and strengths that they bring to therapy, which support their growth and capacity for healing.
In therapy, I incorporate Attachment Theory, which considers how early experiences with parents and/or caregivers shape the way individuals feel about themselves, form relationships, and handle conflict. My therapeutic approach is informed by Emotionally-focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Gottman Couple Therapy, according to clients’ needs and goals.
I identify as white, cis-gender, and middle-class. I also identify as a spiritual person. I have the lived experience of a long-term chronic illness. My interests include hiking, film, photography, playing the piano, cooking, and laughing heartily with loved ones.
