Healing Relationships

Pamela Goffman, LCSW, TEP, CIRT, obtained her Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University in 1994. She is a Board Certified Trainer, Educator, and Practitioner (TEP) specializing in Psychodrama, Sociometry, and Group Psychotherapy, and has been honored with Fellow status by the Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama (ASGPP). As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist (CIRT), Pamela incorporates these modalities into her work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

 

Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she operates a private practice offering both virtual and in-person sessions, along with intensive workshops tailored for couples, families, and individuals, as well as experiential group workshops in Center City Philadelphia, often collaborating with other Psychodrama professionals.

 

Pamela's previous career in theater involved acting, directing, choreographing, and teaching movement to actors, which sparked her interest in the emotional impacts of this work and led her to pursue advanced education in mental health. This experience made her an early adopter for integrating somatic practices into therapy.

 

She received advanced training in trauma treatment at the Manhattan Vet Center in NYC and was employed as a Psychiatric Social Worker, training staff on trauma treatment for combat veterans, the homeless, and those struggling with substance abuse in Samaritan Village's Veterans' Program.

 

From 1998 to 2021, Pamela lived and practiced in Delray Beach, Florida, where she established a clinical program for an international adoption agency, provided mental health services for a medical pain clinic, and consulted for various substance abuse agencies in South Florida. She has presented at numerous ASGPP and NASW and educational institutions, covering topics such as "Working Experientially with Couples", "Introduction to Psychodrama," "Creating Safety in the Treatment of Trauma with Psychodrama Techniques," "Spirituality in Clinical Practice," and "Integrating Expressive Arts and Social Work."

 

From 2009 to 2020, Pamela founded and directed the Psychodrama Institute of South Florida, where she trained mental health practitioners in Psychodrama, Sociometry, and Group Psychotherapy. She currently offers training and supervision upon request.

 

Pamela serves on the Executive Council for the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama (ASGPP) and was honored with the Hannah B. Weiner Award in 2026 for her contributions to the organization.
