Psychotherapy

Dr. Rodger provides caring, helpful and personal adult, couples, family and child psychotherapy. Therapy can take many paths. Each person determines what he or she most needs. Dr. Goddard uses many modalities including Insight, CBT, Skill Building, Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic, IFS, Jungian, DBT, Trauma Focused, Family Systems, Behavioral Medicine, Emotion Focused, ACT and other therapies. Therapy can be short or long, present or past focused, practical or exploratory, relationship or work related, understanding of recent or early wounds, or healing of present or past relationships. We often gain from a combination of problem solving skill building and healing our troubling emotions and wounds. Sessions are provided face to face or with Hipaa Compliant, confidential tele-therapy. Click on the picture to the left for more information about Dr. Goddard’s therapy services.

Calm Power Program

The Calm Power Program: Strengthening our Body Mind Heart Soul Skills to Overcome Stress and Feel Great. The program (app and book) was developed by Dr. Goddard to provide a complete guide for overcoming difficulties, improving health and feeling great. The program builds key skills for improving our relationships, self confidence, goal achievement, health, spirituality, wound healing and quality of our life. The Hero or Herione’s Life Journey provides us with a framework and a positive way of approaching our problems. We are all on a journey to create meaning, purpose, happiness and achieve our life’s mission. However, life stresses and problems often leave us feeling anxious, agitated, upset, overwhelmed and unable to appreciate the miracle of life. The problems that cross our path, however, are there to help us learn, grow and evolve emotionally, socially and spiritually. A successful life journey involves building the skills necessitated by each life problem we encounter. We need to embrace and learn from, rather than hate and despise, our challenges. The program helps us build skills in the 4 key Life Areas of Body, Mind, Heart and Soul.

IFS: Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems is an evidence based therapy. It helps us to heal our wounds, guide our emotions, calm inner turmoil, appreciate everything inside of us and strengthen our positive Core Self. IFS, created by Dr. Richard Schwartz, believes that we are composed of many parts including our Protectors and Exiles. Our Protectors work hard to keep us safe. They generally lock our Exiles (our hurt, wounded, vulnerable, traumatized parts) away in the dungeon to help us live without pain. However, our Protectors often go on Steroids, take over, get mission obsessed and banish our Exiles and Core Self away. One amazing thing about IFS is its view that all of our parts are good and are trying to help us. IFS helps us to be Self-Led, not Parts-Led, by strengthening our Core Self’s ability to calm, guide, lead and heal all of our inner parts.

Parent Power Program

bigstock-Mother-And-Daughter-Together-A-13896968.jpg

Parenting is one of the most fulfilling, satisfying, joyful and simultaneously unsettling, upsetting, frustrating experiences we can have. Parenting is tough. Parents must work hard, maintain financial security, drive their kids everywhere and be perfect parents. Our demanding, overwhelming lifestyles make it almost impossible to help our child particularly when he or she has problems or special needs. Children today are under tremendous pressure. Children must learn harder and harder material in earlier and earlier grades. Children today are often lacking in the key skills needed for school and life success. We are undergoing an experiment in child rearing. Never before in history have children been brought up by electronics, screens, technology and ceaseless audio visual stimulation. The ABC Parent Power Program (app and book) gives parents an effective structure and approach to strengthening the skills that our children need for success.
