Therapy Sessions
Are you fed up with suffering?

You're exhausted and overwhelmed.

​

You feel a sense of unease and perpetual dissatisfaction.

 

Your mind is constantly spinning about events that may happen in the future or you're rehashing the past.

​

Your body feels constricted all the time. Your chest feels tight, your jaw is tense, or your shoulders and neck are always in pain.

​

You find yourself impatient and angry with the people you love the most.

​

You have persistent thoughts that bully you, tell you you're not good enough, and you can't get relief from this mental chatter.

​

Peace is possible for you.

 

You can feel calm, content, connected to those around you, and excited about life again. 

​

You can make decisions more easily and feel confident.

​

You can discover that nothing is actually missing or lacking.

​

You can feel more carefree and joyful.

​

​

I strive to utilize the best research evidence to address your unique and specific needs. I draw upon Loch Kelly's Effortless Mindfulness, meditation practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as somatic techniques to address the connection between the body and mind.

Hi, I'm
Dr. Goldyne.

I'm a licensed psychologist in California (PSY28343) and a long-time Santa Barbara resident. I see clients in-person and via telehealth from my office on the Mesa. I have trained since 2005 at several local agencies, non-profits, a university counseling center, and in the private practice setting. Since 2016, I've been licensed and practicing independently. I have specialties in parent-infant mental health, child development, and the college/university population.
