About My Practice
Hi! I’m Dr Goldman. Welcome to Whole Human Psychiatry! I specialize in caring for the needs of smart creative people living with ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar spectrum disorders, and life stressors such as jobs, relationships, divorce and other slaps in the face. I speak Spanish and enjoy helping working adults, students, teachers, janitors, artists, engineers, legal, educational and health care professionals, people of color, gender non-conformists and other unique and interesting people.

By using current, evidence based psychiatry and asking intuitively relevant and precise questions while listening deeply, I help my patients get off their useless or harmful medications.

Testimonials
“Dr Lisa, Thank you so much for all the information. Just wanted to drop you a text in letting you know how much I truly love working with you and all that you do! I’ve never met a Dr. that goes as far as you do with their patients. We should have a Dr. G appreciate day, truly cause without you none of this would happen. So thank you Dr Lisa. Have a good day, See you soon!”

Dr. Goldman, Why don't you take insurance?
Why go see a doctor that doesn't take insurance?
People ask me all the time if I take insurance. The answer is, no I don't. I love spending quality time with my patients and insurance won't allow me to do that. Nobody explains patient centered medical care better than my friend and mentor, Pamela Wible, MD. She is the founder of the Ideal Medical Care Movement.
