Yaffa Goldbaum, MS, LPC, NCC, RYT (She, Her, Hers)

Hi, I’m Yaffa.

My aim is for you to discover your preferred ways of orienting and moving through your life. My intention is to be an active partner with you to reduce distress, cultivate a healthy mind, body, spirit connection, and develop the capacity to meaningfully engage in here-and-now life and relationships. My focus is to build upon your individual strengths, enhance self-care efforts, and enrich any resources and supports already in place.

I view the therapeutic relationship as central to the treatment process. Therapy sessions are personalized based upon your needs and preferences. I honor every part that encompasses you. I am dedicated to showing up with integrity, respect, and an openness to learn from you.

Specialties

Trauma, Disordered Eating

There’s nothing simple about what you’ve experienced, how you endured it, how it affected your life, or how you will overcome it.

Services

I draw from a broad range of disciplines and take a holistic approach to healing and wellbeing. Many of the interventions I offer are experiential – they allow you to embody your preferred ways of being, rather than just imagine it.

• Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

• Dramatherapy

• Narradrama

• Psychodrama

• Creative Arts Therapy

• Authentic Movement

• Trauma-Informed Yoga

• Nature-Based Therapy

• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

“I think some of the best therapy one can do is therapy that is very largely non-verbal where the main task of the therapist is to help people to feel what they feel—to notice what they notice, to see how things flow within themselves, and to reestablish their sense of time inside.”

– Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Advances in the Treatment of Trauma

* Levana Therapy provides treatment options for individuals 15 yrs and older.
