Mark Goodman, LCSW
Licensed in: Oregon
I became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping others move from a place of feeling disempowered to one of peace, growth, and self-acceptance. Life’s transitions can feel overwhelming, but I believe in guiding clients through these challenges by helping them tap into their inner strengths. Together, we address negative thinking patterns and self-sabotage, working toward meaningful and lasting change.
About Me
I earned my Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) from the University of Utah in 2009 and have been committed to helping individuals find balance and clarity ever since. I use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness to support clients during times of transition. I also incorporate Motivational Interviewing to foster self-awareness and inspire positive change. My practice is a safe, welcoming space where clients can feel supported as they work toward personal growth and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
