With over 35 years of experience, my goal is to provide support and practical solutions to help people address feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and loneliness. Even in a relationship, we can feel alone and unseen for who we truly are. Our real self can become hidden, sometimes even to ourselves. Most of my patients come to me for help with loss, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
My passion is to help people find authentic connection in their relationships. I'm also dedicated to training other professionals in helping couples and to this end, I've developed a couples therapy training program. With compassion, understanding, and humor, I help people discover new paths to working through their psychological distress.

When we choose to start psychotherapy, it's not an easy decision. Is this the right time? How do I find the right therapist? Should it be a man or a woman? Does it matter if they they have personally experienced what I am going through like problems in sustaining long term relationships, the question of divorce, children, loss, depression, sexual anxieties, identity diffusion, struggles with anger, and death?
Having a good relationship with a partner is one of the most difficult things you can do; an obvious statement. Often, people worry that couples therapy will make things worse. In fact, many people have had bad experiences with previous couples therapy. Effective couples therapy needs to be conducted by someone who has advanced training in working with couples.
Dr. Daniel Goldberg offers specialized therapy services in Princeton, NJ, providing individual, couples therapy, marriage counseling, and family therapy. Each individual and relationship is different and treatment plans vary according to the particulars of each case. Assessment is an important first step.
Seeking out therapy is an individual choice. There are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing psychological issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Quite often, it is our relationship with a partner/spouse that feels unsatisfying. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life such as a divorce or work transition.
From time to time, I come across a quote that makes me pause, feel into an issue in a way that I hadn't before, or maybe helps us to restore a measure of grounding. Some things that will be included in this section of my website will be written by others, some may be my own musings.
The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust.Instead of looking to a relationship for shelter, we could welcome its power to wake us up in areas of life where we are asleep and where we avoid naked, direct contact with life.

I saw Daniel Goldberg one time, and this was enough for me to stay the hell away from him. I mentioned to him that I had a lover who had died of AIDS, and he said "Oh really?" in a very sarcastic tone of voice. He had no desire to talk about it, and seemed to be acting like he thought I was lying. Near the end of our one encounter, he accused me of giving him dirty looks, something I was completely unaware of doing. I am not entirely sure what to make of that, but he seemed paranoid.
