Pamela Goffman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, TEP
Psychotherapy opens our perceptions to the meanings behind our beliefs and patterns of behavior, that in turn comprise the roles we take in our lives. My job is to help you integrate these perceptions and access these meanings, so you can expand your life by creating new roles.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile.
"People can cry much easier than they can change." — James Baldwin
Life can be challenging, and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting struggles, family conflict, trauma, or major life transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next. Taking the first step toward therapy is not always easy, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Parent Coach, educator, and mother of four with more than 20 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families build healthier, more fulfilling lives. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, parenting support, adolescent issues, self-esteem, trauma, family relationships, and life transitions. I often joke that I speak fluent teen, but my true passion is helping people strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and develop the confidence needed to overcome life's challenges.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide guidance, support, and practical tools while helping you uncover the strengths that already exist within you. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore concerns, build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful change.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and develop the skills needed to thrive both now and in the future.
I provide in-person therapy in Montclair, New Jersey, as well as secure online therapy throughout New Jersey and Florida.
I offer a complimentary consultation and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can work together.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I draw on mind-body approaches and other evidence-based therapies to help people navigate anxiety, stress, stress related health challenges, life transitions, depression, grief, relationship issues, and times of feeling stuck. Over more than three decades in practice, I’ve witnessed the profound capacity we each have to heal and grow through therapy. I view this work as a collaborative process—one grounded in safety, trust, and genuine connection—where together we can explore how to help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and fulfillment. When the mind, body, and heart come into alignment, new possibilities for living fully begin to emerge.

Boca Raton's affluent demographic creates distinct demand for therapists specializing in anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions including divorce, retirement adjustment, and family conflict. The city has a large Jewish community and a significant retiree population, and many therapists offer culturally sensitive care and specialize in aging-related concerns, grief, and elder family dynamics. Boca Raton's proximity to Palm Beach County's well-developed addiction treatment corridor means dual-diagnosis therapists and addiction specialists are also well represented. Many practices serve clients across southern Palm Beach and northern Broward County.
