Dr. Kara Goobic
Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed psychologist, I provide all psychotherapeautic interventions and
diagnostic evaluations utilizing a HIPAA compliant virtual platform]. I
specialize in workkng with adults with Neurodiverse conditions including
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (AD/HD)
disorder, Intellectual disabilities and learning disabilities. I also diagnose and
treat co-occurring disorders such as anxiety and depression. Family
involvement and support are often necessary to maximize success in many
areas of a person’s life. My work involves concrete, structured interventions
along with support and guidance that can be utilized in the home, and
workplace. I have been described as a down-to-earth psychologist who
integrates humor and compassion with a pragmatic, problem-solving
approach to help clients reach their goals.
​
It is not uncommon for those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
and/or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to be
misunderstood; I provide information and support to identify strengths,
understand labels, and learn strategies to create behavioral change. Deeper
understanding, beyond the diagnostic label, often leads to increased
acceptance and, in turn, to a greater capacity for self-advocacy.
​
ASD and ADHD diagnostic evaluations for adults can include a report with
specific recommendations for employment. Accommodations in the
workplace can result in significant positive changes.
I have known Dr. Goobic for ten years and have found her to be an incredibly astute professional who cares deeply about doing the best possible work with each of her clients. Dr. Goobic and I have shared numerous patients and I have always been impressed with her breadth of knowledge and her warm demeanor. I particularly appreciate Dr. Goobic’s active approach in psychotherapy, which helps her patients achieve their best possible outcomes and her particular expertise in autism spectrum disorders. Overall, I give Dr. Kara Goobic my highest possible recommendation.
