I Was Training To Treat Mental Health.
I Didn’t Expect To Struggle With My Own. 

Dr. Jake Goodman Story
Dr. Jake Goodman Story

I Was Training To Treat
Mental Health.
I Didn’t Expect To
Struggle With My Own. 

During residency, I experienced depression firsthand while working long hours and caring for patients. Getting help changed my life and gave me a deeper understanding of how difficult it can be for healthcare professionals to prioritize their own mental health.

Today, I combine evidence-based medicine, empathy, and lived experience across my clinical practice, writing, and advocacy. I know what it is like to work 24-hour shifts, care for others while quietly struggling yourself, and feel as though slowing down is not an option. That is why I built Goodman Psychiatry around zero shame, zero judgment, and a whole lot of hope.

READ DR. GOODMAN’S STORY

My Patients Trust Me With What Matters Most

  • “Working with Dr. Goodman has been one of the most important investments I’ve made in my well-being and career.”

    “As a physician, finding mental health care that feels truly understood can be challenging. From our very first phone call, I felt understood not just as a patient, but as a colleague navigating the unique pressures of medicine. Dr. Goodman treats me without judgment.”

    -Patient review on Healthgrades

  • “I felt seen, heard, and supported in a way that I haven’t experienced before.”

    “Dr. Goodman is not only highly professional and knowledgeable in his field, but he also brings a deeply human and compassionate approach to his practice. He took the time to truly listen and understand what I was going through.”

    -Patient review on Zocdoc

  • “As a clinician struggling with burnout and depression, I found his care deeply effective, empathetic, highly personable, and knowledgeable about the unique stresses healthcare providers face.”

    “I cannot recommend Dr. Goodman highly enough.”

    -Patient review on Healthgrades

  • “It genuinely feels like working as a team, which is exactly how medicine should be.”

    “Dr. Goodman is not only an incredibly empathetic, grounded, and highly knowledgeable provider, but he is also exceptionally thorough in patient education. I always feel empowered in my care because he ensures that every decision is collaborative, transparent, and tailored to my lived experience.”

    -Patient review on Zocdoc

  • “I have and will continue to refer my own patients to Dr. Goodman’s practice.”

    “Dr. Goodman has been fantastic to work with, both as a patient and as a medical professional… His easy demeanor puts me at ease… I will remain a personal patient for the foreseeable future.”

    -Patient review on Zocdoc

  • “We have successfully worked our way through medication changes and updates, with incredibly positive results.”

    “I sought out Dr. Goodman specifically because of his knowledge and understanding of what healthcare professionals experience and the impact on our mental health.”

    -Patient review on Healthgrades

  • “Seriously improved the overall quality of my life.”

    “Dr. Goodman focuses on different treatment modalities and works with you to go over options and figures out what works. The fact that he’s super nice and non-judgmental is amazing!”

    -Patient review on Healthgrades

  • “[He] really helped me turn my life around and learn how to cope with my feelings properly.”

    “Dr. Goodman was an excellent doctor, he made me feel at ease right away and helped me learn different tools to cope and deal with problems as they came up in a healthy and productive manner. I cannot thank Dr. Goodman enough for how he helped me throughout our sessions and highly recommend.”

    -Patient review on Zocdoc

  • “Dr. Goodman’s disposition and genuine care immediately put me at ease.”

    “As a young woman, I’m often more inclined to work with female practitioners… He is also the most responsive health care professional I have ever worked with. He’s thorough, conscientious and kind. What more could you want?”

    -Patient review on Zocdoc

  • "From my initial consultation, I could tell that Dr. Goodman truly cares about his patients.”

    “I’ve had less-than-stellar experiences with psychiatrists in the past, so I was apprehensive to resume my journey to improving my mental health… He’s very responsive, always on time, and runs a very organized practice. I always look forward to my visits with him!”
