Bonnie Goetz, MA

Licensed Professional Counselor

I work with clients who are:

  • Being hard on themselves beyond what is helpful; having difficulty with self-compassion.

  • Struggling with a lack of meaning or purpose in their life.

  • Having difficulty navigating a relationship that they aren’t sure is good for them; possibly clouded by the tendency to highly value harmonious relationships.

  • “People pleasers”; putting the needs of others before themselves, whatever the situation.

  • Often picking up, or feeling, others’ mood states and emotions, either consciously or unconsciously.

  • Living with traits of being Highly Sensitive or with Sensory Processing Sensitivity (Different from Sensory Processing Disorders, such as Autism).

  • Wondering about their greater story they are living out and how the psyche is pushing them towards this.

  • Negatively impacted by currently being in, or having been in the past, a relationship with a person with an antagonistic (such as Narcissistic or Borderline) personality style.

  • Struggling to “fit in” to a world that often feels draining and overstimulating.

  • Having difficulty speaking up in their relationships because they’d rather avoid conflict.

  • Self-blame or self-loathing.

  • Wanting to explore what the invitation of their symptom(s) or problem might be.

  • Experiencing difficulties with trust.

Individual Sessions

I help clients through life’s challenges. I employ a range of therapeutic practices including mindfulness, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), communication skills, emotion regulation techniques, boundary setting, inner parts work, skills for increasing self-awareness, exploring the root of the symptoms, as well as shadow and dream work.
