Dr. Erica Goodstone

Dr. Erica Goodstone is a Love Mentor and Relationship Healer helping men and women, individuals and couples, gay and straight, to heal their relationships through Love. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Marriage Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, American Board of Sexology Diplomate, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Rubenfeld Synergist (a type of somatic body oriented psychotherapy), and Personal/Life and Health/Wellness Coach.

Former Professor of Health and Physical Education for over two decades at FIT/State University of New York, Dr. Erica created the first human sexuality course along with courses in stress management, holistic health, gymnastics, other physical activities, and yoga. She taught about the mind-body spirit connection and health decades before health awareness became more mainstream.

Dr. Erica organized the NY Metropolitan area AASECT section, a group that created its own conference at the national AASECT conference and later organized an AASECT certified continuing education event at FIT. She has been a member for several decades and has presented her work in the past at SSTAR (Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality) and AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists).

Her doctoral dissertation, based on the work of Dr. Margaret Mahler about the long-term effects of mother-infant bonding, has provided the basis for her understanding of her clients’ intense ambivalence, fear of intimacy and separation anxiety that often interfere with creating a lasting loving relationship.

She helps her clients awaken, create and reawaken their love, sexual passion, and intimate connection. Feeling accepted, appreciated, and acknowledged for their own unique and special gifts, her clients are able to finally make wise love choices. For those already in a committed relationship, she helps them turn to their partners with a renewed ability to love and be loved.
