ROBERTA GOLD, MSW, LCSW

As a therapist working with individuals and families for more than 10 years, I specialize in dealing with issues related to all aspects of family life.  I apply my knowledge of child development to all phases of growth and maturity.  Much of my work has focused on working with children and adolescents experiencing a varied range of difficulties.  I work to educate and empower parents as I encourage them to parent in more appropriate, beneficial and less confrontational styles.  This, in turn, leads to improved understanding, better communication and fewer conflicts in the home.

     My experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker focuses on issues related to divorce and adoption.   I bring extensive forensic experience which developed out of my clinical training and work in specific areas of family law.  My experience encompasses a broad clinical background, and enables excellent assessment capabilities, clear and precise communication skills and expertise in completing psychosocial evaluations in the following family court areas:

• Best Interest Evaluations
• Child Custody Evaluations
• Bonding Evaluations
• Parent Coordination
• Home Studies for Adoption
• Parental Alienation
• Family Reunification Therapy
• Court Testimony
