Emotional disorders, depression, anxiety, excessive irritability, frustration, and anger …all of which can lead to a manifestation of behavioral problems with overwhelming effects on academic, social, and daily family life.

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.

Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
For many children and adolescents , wanting to feel like they're being heard and listened to is critical to changing negative behaviors. Often-times, despite their parent's best intentions, a third party is needed. Being an objective voice for these kids is often all that is needed. I'm able to help them bridge the communication gap they are feeling with their parents and sometimes, that is enough for significant change to start.

iRecovery Behavioral Healthcare
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, LMHC
Young people rarely ask to come to therapy, so the work has to earn their trust before it can go anywhere. iRecovery addresses child and adolescent issues including school refusal, behavioral difficulties, anxiety, depression, social struggles, and the effects of family disruption. Because young people exist within families and schools, we involve parents and caregivers as partners, helping the adults around a child respond in ways that steady a situation rather than escalate it.

West Palm Beach is the county seat and largest city of Palm Beach County, sitting just across the Intracoastal Waterway from the ultra-wealthy enclave of Palm Beach island, and this juxtaposition of extreme wealth and the more working-class and ethnically diverse West Palm Beach community creates a distinctive mental health context around economic inequality, aspiration, and the psychological impact of proximity to extreme affluence. The city has a large Black and Latino community with significant Haitian and Caribbean heritage, and culturally competent Spanish- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists are in demand. Palm Beach County's behavioral health system and a private therapy sector—including a substantial addiction treatment industry that draws clients from across the country—serve different segments of the population. Common therapy concerns include economic stress and inequality, Black and Caribbean-American identity, addiction and recovery, anxiety, and the complex emotional experience of living adjacent to one of the wealthiest communities in the world.
