Jon Goldblatt, LMHC, Psy.D

Chief Clinical Director

There are times in our life when we become overwhelmed and as a result, may experience anxiety when we think about these challenges. During these times we may want to seek assistance but feel apprehensive about taking that step. This apprehension is normal, but it is also important that you regain control of your life. It is my commitment to help you work through difficult periods of your life in a respectful and compassionate way. My vision is to provide a safe place where you can share your feelings without judgment. My philosophy is to work with you, as a team, and create an environment to challenge perceptions. I can help you recognize and utilize the strengths that are within you, and help you develop new skills to help cope more effectively with life challenges. My approach is integrative and collaborative, based on trust, respect, and compassion.

In order to start this process, I would like to share my experience. I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor and graduate of Carlos Albizu University in Miami, Florida. While at Carlos Albizu University, I earned a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, a Master’s in psychology, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have over 20 years of experience in treating children, adolescents and adults. I offer individual, couples, group and family therapy sessions. Over the course of my educational and professional career, I have worked in a variety of settings ranging from eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. I have worked with clients on issues such as depression/mood disorders, anxiety disorders, stress management, men’s issues, self-esteem, behavioral problems, self-harm behaviors, parent skills training, relationship conflicts, substance abuse and more. My philosophy is to meet the needs of the individual with the overall goal of helping clients achieve a healthier and happy life. Whether you need support or guidance on your journey in life, I am here to work with you. If you are ready to take this journey, I look forward to working with you.
