Ali Goldsmith
Ali (she/her) completed her BA in Psychology at Duke University, MA at New York University, and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) at Pepperdine University. With a belief that healing is most effective when involving both the body and mind, she sees somatic and mindfulness techniques as powerful ways to calm the nervous system and lead to deeper insight. Trained in arts therapies and with a background in dance, she is skilled at tapping into her client’s creativity to manage stress and process the impacts of traumatic experiences. She also believes that healing the self often involves recognizing how we’ve been shaped and harmed by larger systems and expectations. This shifts our focus away from symptoms and diagnoses and towards a critical understanding of how our world can inhibit our potential. She is passionate about working with young adults, the queer community, survivors of trauma, and those experiencing life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions of identity.
