Dr. Shelly Ellen Goldklank, PhD

Dr. Goldklank was immensely helpful to us. She paid very close attention to our interactions, and identified and -- in a kind way -- articulated the negative aspects of some of them. She also helped both of us see patterns of behavior and communication that were old; defenses that had developed in our family of origin, and that were understandable given the family each of us came from, but counterproductive in our relationship. She helped us be more forgiving of each other, but also able to more clearly state what we each need or want. Recommend highly.

Few psychologists possess Dr. Goldklank’s sensitivity, complexity and depth of insight. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking help.

I saw Dr. Goldklank at a difficult point in my life. My five year relationship had fallen apart and my performance at work was deteriorating because of my distraction and depression. Dr. Goldklank was extremely insightful and compassionate in our work together. Her collaborative approach to therapy was both supportive and challenging and exactly right for me. I recommend her most highly.

She told us how to think, criticized how we thought, talked down to us, was impatient and even suggested one of us work with her indiviually— all in one meeting. Potentially very damaging and opportunist. She should retire.
