Focus. Confidence. Results

At In Balance Therapy in Walnut Creek, CA, I am a sports psychologist that focuses on helping athletes overcome a variety of mental, emotional, or psychological problems. My goal is to improve their overall well-being and help boost their performance on the field. Psychological issues can drastically impede athletic performance. In Balance Therapy is where I specialize in examining the effect an issue may have on an athlete's participation in the game, and explore methods of treatment.
Sports Psychology Treatment That Focuses on the Athlete
Sports psychology seeks to help amateur and professional athletes get to the root of their psychological issues and help them achieve their goals, enhance their performance, and live an altogether healthier life. As a sports psychologist I understand the connection between psychology and performance, and I work with the athlete individually to provide an effective course of treatment. Call In Balance Therapy in Walnut Creek, CA today to learn more.

    Dr. Goodman came as a guest speaker for our teenage dancers to talk to them about anxiety and performance anxiety. Our objective was to open a conversation with our students about something so many teens today struggle with. Her presentation style was casual and comfortable, and they were engaged and asked great questions. Dr. Goodman was clearly an expert in this topic, and provided information and resources that will be invaluable for those who participated. We sincerely look forward to a relationship with her in the future, and greatly appreciate her sharing her expertise and time with us.

    I recently had a neck lift in this clinic and am very pleased with the result. As I got older, I noticed that my neck sagged and wrinkled, which made me uncomfortable. But, after consulting with one of the clinic's certified surgeons, I decided to have a neck lift procedure. The operation was quick and the recovery time was minimal. After a week I was able to return to work and my usual activities.

    Dr. Goodman is truly an amazing woman who is a master at her craft. I started seeing her almost 2 years ago and starting therapy with her was one of the best things I’ve done. Not only have I noticed a change in myself, but my closet friends have commented on the positive change Gabby has had on me. She has helped me navigate my mid 20’s whether it be friendships, romantic relationships, my family dynamics or even my career moves. She holds me accountable and is an amazing sounding board for tough conversations and figuring out next steps that I’ve struggled asking for help with. She’s challenges me, she’s holds no judgement and I feel safe turning to her with everything. She has given me permission to grow in ways I didn’t know I needed. Thanks Gabby :)
