Grace Goodman, MA
Grace Goodman is a resident-in-counseling under the supervision of Michelle Market, LPC, CEDS. After spending several years on her own healing journey in therapy, Grace felt called to help others and left her 15-year marketing career to become a therapist. She is a HAES-aligned, weight-inclusive provider whose counseling philosophy is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel good. For her clients, feeling good often entails fostering a better relationship with food, separating their worth from their weight and body shape, improving their self-esteem, and nurturing skills in boundary-setting, self-love, and self-compassion. Grace's integrative therapeutic approach blends understanding your past and its impact on your present with practical tools to help you feel better in the here and now. Grace offers her clients unconditional acceptance, a judgment-free, safe space to explore their fears and pain, and support in growing in new and meaningful ways.
Grace is currently accepting new clients. Her availability includes limited in-person sessions on Monday mornings and virtual sessions Monday afternoons, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Friday mornings. Her session fee is $150, with a sliding scale option available on an as-needed basis.

Understanding your relationship with food and your body is vital to healing your relationship with both. Now with increase in usage of tools such as GLP1s, we know there is no “magic” answer to healing, but we do see the importance of being open to medical interventions when helpful. We invite you to join our virtual group, geared towards individuals who struggle with their relationships with food and their body, to learn about additional tools that take you inside your mind, body, and soul to aid in fostering a better relationship with food and your body. This group will serve as a reset and a weekly opportunity to show up for yourself. This group is specific for individuals who struggle with binge eating, overeating, yo-yo dieting.

EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences (Maxfield, 2019). EMDR therapy has even been superior to Prozac in trauma treatment (Van der Kolk et al., 2007). Shapiro and Forrest (2016) share that more than 7 million people have been treated successfully by 110,000 therapists in 130 countries since 2016.EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain toresume its natural healing process.
