LGBTQ

If you’re LGBTQ+, you deserve psychiatric care where you don’t have to explain yourself.

I’m Dr. Lisa Goldman and I’m not here to “fix” who you are. I’m here to help you feel better and function better — in a space that’s safe, respectful, and steady.

What I help with

  • Depression (including bipolar spectrum)
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • ADHD
  • Stress, relationships, work, family dynamics, and major life transitions

How I work

I listen deeply, I ask precise questions, and I explain what I’m thinking.

We’ll take your symptoms seriously and we’ll also pay attention to the context of your life — because both matter.

A note on transition-related evaluations

If transition-related evaluations are needed and appropriate, we can discuss that after we’ve had a chance to get to know each other.


Here’s what my patients are saying

I’ve been under psychiatric care for 25 years across a range of doctors, Dr Goldman is by far the best psychiatrist I’ve ever had. Her devotion and commitment to my care is beyond what I ever would have expected from a psychiatrist before I started working with her. I’ve always felt that a large part of my mental health is done alone, I’m in charge of where I am and what’s working or what’s not. I was surprised to find with Dr Goldman that’s not true. I learned that a great psychiatrist is a partner, the best and most knowledgeable one could ever have. With Dr Goldman I’m no longer alone in my struggles, I have her with me 24 hours a day. The impact of her support is something I might never really be able to fully measure, because it continues to unfold and shape my future every single day.

Dr Goldman took the time over the course of many months to find an optimal medication regimen, which has kept me stable for years.

Always available when needed and easy to schedule appointments.

I think of you and how grateful I am for all that have done for me.

I don’t admire many people, as you know, Dr Goldman, and I truly dislike most doctors. You’re the first doctor I have ever admired.

Dr Goldman has been a critical component of my health care team. In addition to being an excellent provider for her areas of expertise she has provided high quality referrals for issues outside her domain.

Dr Goldman is an excellent communicator and focused listener. I feel comfortable talking about any personal or medical topic with her, and she is well trained and experienced in her work. She knows my personal history and understands what I have been through. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she gives focused attention to my concerns. I feel Dr Goldman gives me the exact amount of time and care that I need. She is truly a wonderful and caring physician.

Dr Lisa, Thank you so much for all the information. I truly love working with you, and I have never met a doctor that goes as far as you do with your patients.
