I don't know where I would be if I didn't find her and I'm so thankful.

Back in July 2025, my son's mother and I met with Tisha to revisit and adjust our custody…read moreagreement. From the very beginning, Tisha created a space that felt safe, supportive, and productive. She was warm, understanding, and open about the process, which immediately put us both at ease. What stood out most was her ability to relate to our situation by sharing some of her own experiences, which made the challenges we faced feel understood and validated. At the same time, when it was necessary, Tisha knew how to be firm in a respectful way. She wasn't afraid to call out when either of us was holding on to things that didn't truly matter, which helped keep the conversation focused and productive. Throughout the process, she was fair, balanced, and clearly advocating for both sides with my son's best interests always at the center. By the end of our session, we had come to an agreement that worked for both of us, and for the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of relief and hope. Even after the session, when things didn't go exactly as planned, Tisha continued to show her dedication and care. When my son's mother changed her mind about following through, I called Tisha. She took the time to console me, talk through what had happened, and provide thoughtful next steps. That kind of follow-up and genuine concern showed me she truly cares about the families she works with.

I help people stop people feeling like they are drowning in grief while living a full life. Together we create a space to unpack all the thoughts, feelings, and turmoil that can come up with grief. My clients experience a change in how to make space for grief in their life and relationships, allowing them to create a new way of living.

I was serious this time about getting clean. Was trying to take advantage of any and all my…read moreresources to be able to do that. I got great insurance through my job and was trying to get into new hope. What they don't tell you is that there is an admission fee of $1600 that is over and above what they charge your insurance for. I told them I didn't have 1600 dollars just lying around and I don't know any other addict in Modesto that can afford that on their own. But if you don't have the 1600, you can't get into new hope they told me. What good is having good insurance if you can't come up with the 1600 blood money they want, making it almost impossible to get in and it stopped me from being able to accomplish what I had set out to do. New hope is close to my house so is where I felt would be good for me to get into. But like I had asked them at the time, is anyone even in new hope? And did they get charged this 1600 fee? Cause it doesn't state it on their website at all. And I was begging them please I took out two weeks vacation time from my job to be able to do this and there was nothing they could do for me. Even with great medical insurance. Didn't matter. It took me over a year to acquire that many hours of vacation time. I started crying my eyes out thinking can I ever get off these drugs that unfortunately I was dumb enough to get addicted to. New Hope makes it seem like they will help, but only if the price is right. This is my experience with New Hope. I hope your experiences are better than mine. They could have made a difference in my life as I was begging them for help. jlein737@gmail.com if you can truly help me, please get in touch.

I, too, have heard great things about Dr. Goldman. For me it was from a friend down in Los Angeles…read more Much like C F., I called towards the beginning of the year and was told by Dr. Goldman she wasn't taking on new clients. I didn't take it personal, but rather, thought how professional and fair it was to her current patients to not overload herself. The doctor didn't apologize to me either, but frankly, I never thought she owed me one. Cut to now, and lucky for me, I called Dr. Goldman last week and she is, once again, taking on new patients. Can't wait to start.

I am excited for the first time in a while. I had one appointment with Dr Goldman and she has added…read moremore insight then ever before. I have had therapy for years and I feel like I'm now on my way back. Coming back from all the horrific trauma is not an easy job. I've really had to be my own advocate for my healing.

Thank you for giving me hope.

Isabel is one of the finest therapists in the entire area. She is kind, patient, empathetic and…read moreoffers her clients a place to be heard, and most importantly, understood. I have seen her periodically over the years through very different life events and she has always helped me either take a different look at my life path, or understand why I've made the choices I've made. She offers ways to help cope with crisis and or change my outlook towards what I perceive to be a crisis. She's helped ground me when things seemed to be spinning out of control. She has helped me find a way out of the depths of despair. She has the experience to recognize patterns of behavior that need to be addressed, and she has a no nonsense way of putting things in perspective for you. Isabel has helped me through periods of loss and death. She has helped me recognize a hopeless situation that I clung to out of fear or stubbornness. Therapy is not an easy thing to put yourself through, but I will be eternally grateful to Isabel for all of the guidance she has shown me through her understanding and constant calm, thoughtful insights.
