Maya Goldberg, MPhil, MA — Goldberg Recovery Counseling

People often contact me when something personal has become too difficult or complicated to handle effectively — feelings of distress or self-doubt, relationship issues, professional strain, or an enduring period of anxiety, low mood, or inner conflict that is affecting their daily life.

Based in Amsterdam, I provide culturally attuned therapy and counseling online for individuals and couples across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the US. I work in English with nationals and expats who are looking for a discreet, private setting, and an evidence-based approach that is both comprehensive and flexible.

My approach is broad-ranging and carefully adapted to each individual’s background and values — focused on helping clients understand what is keeping them stuck, and begin making workable, life-enhancing changes.

APPROACH:

Utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I specialize in personalized, evidence-based solutions designed to fit into your everyday life. I work with hard-to-break patterns, relational difficulties, and co-occurring issues including stress, depression, confidence, identity, and many other personal and culture-specific challenges.

In between sessions, I maintain an open line of communication through text and email. This tool is there for you to practice sharing insights and dilemmas and sustain motivation — ensuring that your process remains active outside of our formal sessions as well.

This collaborative therapeutic experience means gaining a new perspective — on yourself, your capacities, and what change can be like. It’s about gently releasing limiting self-concepts, improving your cognitive-behavioral skills, and developing a sense of self-confidence that feels both empowering and authentic.
