Prior to your first appointment, you will need to complete a few forms which will be emailed to you to complete online. If you have not been to my office before, are not certain where the office is, or are unfamiliar with local/seasonal traffic patterns, please leave yourself extra time to get to your first appointment. When you arrive at my office, please have a seat in the shared waiting area in the center of the building and I will come get you at your appointment time. Similarly, if you are a telehealth client, please acquaint yourself with my program (VSee) prior to your first telehealth appointment using the instructions you receive via email.
When the appointment begins, there is no pressure on you to know where to start or what to talk about; I will help guide you through the session. However, it can be helpful for you to consider what you would like me to know about your current struggles, areas of your life or your past that would help him understand you better as a person, and goals or objectives that you have for therapy.
You can request an appointment or ask questions through the contact form below, or you can call (941) 444-5578. Your email or voicemail will be returned directly by Dr. Goldman, not by a secretary or assistant.
