THERAPIST

Kira Goldenberg, ASW

I specialize in working with teenagers who stand out rather than fit in and young adults trying to find their footing. I also enjoy working with clients grappling with chronic or life-limiting illness.

GET IN TOUCH

Hi! I’m Kira.

I view therapy as a multipurpose tool rooted in the strength of the therapist-client relationship. Therapy fosters self-discovery, helps ease mental health symptoms and process psychological pain, and nurtures the strengths you did not realize you already had within you.

I take a person-centered, relational approach rooted in a social justice worldview and DBT skills work to help clients examine patterns, events, and dynamics and learn to cope with and navigate them. We'll look at what has shaped your past and give you the tools to shape your future.

  • I entered the mental health field after a career in journalism and progressive communications, and I use my background in amplifying marginalized voices in my work.
