Myriam Goldin, LCSW, RPT-S

My clinical career has focused on facilitating emotional healing for at-risk adolescents exposed to multiple traumatic experiences. I have worked in various clinical and educational settings in the Northern Virginia area supporting bilingual and bi-cultural youth experiencing socio-emotional and educational challenges.

My desire to advocate for the understanding of children's and youths' needs impacted by trauma led me to become a leading voice in the Fairfax County Public School System. I present in the educational field on the issue of trauma and its impact on learning, and on the power of healthy relationships as corrective brain experiences. I have presented on trauma at the state, regional, national and international levels.

I have experience providing evidence-informed treatment to children, adolescent, and adult survivors of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse; children and youth experiencing emotional dysregulation as a result of issues of attachment, acculturation, and grief; and children experiencing difficulties with problem sexual behaviors. I received specialized training conducting Extended Play-Based Developmental Assessment (Gil); Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; Boundary Project Assessment and Treatment Program (Gil & Shaw); Trauma-Focused Integrative Play Therapy (Gil); art, sand, and play therapy interventions; parent-child assessments, and attachment-focused Theraplay techniques. I have also received specialized training in imagery education from the Center for Healing and Imagery.

I am excited to continue my individual, family and group work while nurturing my passion and commitment to training, education, and the clinical teachings of Dr. Gil.
