A bit about Dr Goldman

Hi, I’m Dr. Lisa Goldman. I’m an Arizona-based board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

I work with smart, creative people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum concerns, insomnia, and ADHD — and who want care that’s collaborative, not rushed.

A bit about my practice

I designed my cash-based tele psychiatry practice to serve people in Arizona and Colorado.

I don’t separate “med management” from psychotherapy. We look at the whole picture: what you’re carrying, what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.

My ideal clients are distressed healthcare workers, adults who are wondering if they have ADHD, and LGBTQ+ adults. Although there are other conditions I enjoy treating.

Disenchanted healthcare workers

You went into medicine to help people. Corporations ask you to do impossible work in impossible time.

If you’re carrying moral injury, burnout, anger, or a quiet sense of “what have I done,” you’re not alone — and you’re not failing.

Neurodivergent adults (ADHD)

If you’ve had to work twice as hard to get average results, you might not be broken — you might be neurodivergent.

I specialize in ADHD care for adults who want understanding, practical supports, and (when appropriate) careful medication.

LGBTQ+ adults

Your identity isn’t something to “fix.” You deserve psychiatric care where you don’t have to explain yourself.

I work with LGBTQ+ adults seeking support for depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, and stress — in a space that’s steady, respectful, and safe.

Other conditions

Here are other concerns I enjoy helping people deal with.

Depression, anxiety, insomnia, bi-polar disorder and an array of other conditions.

What my patients are saying

Dr Goldman has been a critical component of my health care team. In addition to being an excellent provider for her areas of expertise she has provided high quality referrals for issues outside her domain.

I don’t admire many people, as you know, Dr Goldman, and I truly dislike most doctors. You’re the first doctor I have ever admired.

Dr Lisa, Thank you so much for all the information. I truly love working with you, and I have never met a doctor that goes as far as you do with your patients.

Always available when needed and easy to schedule appointments.

I think of you and how grateful I am for all that have done for me.

I’ve been under psychiatric care for 25 years across a range of doctors, Dr Goldman is by far the best psychiatrist I’ve ever had. Her devotion and commitment to my care is beyond what I ever would have expected from a psychiatrist before I started working with her. I’ve always felt that a large part of my mental health is done alone, I’m in charge of where I am and what’s working or what’s not. I was surprised to find with Dr Goldman that’s not true. I learned that a great psychiatrist is a partner, the best and most knowledgeable one could ever have. With Dr Goldman I’m no longer alone in my struggles, I have her with me 24 hours a day. The impact of her support is something I might never really be able to fully measure, because it continues to unfold and shape my future every single day.

Dr Goldman is an excellent communicator and focused listener. I feel comfortable talking about any personal or medical topic with her, and she is well trained and experienced in her work. She knows my personal history and understands what I have been through. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she gives focused attention to my concerns. I feel Dr Goldman gives me the exact amount of time and care that I need. She is truly a wonderful and caring physician.

Dr Goldman took the time over the course of many months to find an optimal medication regimen, which has kept me stable for years.
