Counseling Naturopaths in California

One of the foremost Naturopathic Doctors in the USA, Dr. Pearlyn Goodman-Herrick is a founding member of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians. She has practiced for over 30 years and has two offices in the Bay area. Dr. Goodman-Herrick interviews each client thoroughly, working with warmth, acceptance, and great curiosity.

My medical practice of over 20 years focuses on the treatment of the whole individual to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. I have designed my practice as a nurturing environment where the physical, as well as the emotional, history lays the groundwork for treatment. Through this approach, I treat the cause of disease/illness rather than just the symptoms. Utilizing effective and appropriately individualized treatment methods, the patient is guided towards balanced health. The goal is to create optimal wellness by identifying and eliminating the stressors on a patient's system and supporting the body's physiology.

Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic specialty care approach to health and wellness that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body, rather than disease itself. The goal is to find out the causes of illness, and how different systems in the body affect each other. Natural therapies are used to support the body embark on it's own healing process. The bedrock of Naturopathy is the health and well being of the individual. Naturopathic Doctors choose the most appropriate type of therapy or combination of therapies to use for each patient.

Although I see many patients for fine tuning and health optimization, I also accept the challenge of working with people with very difficult medical issues, especially folks with issues that conventional medicine has very little to offer.

Since 2007, I have specialized in Neuro-Endocrinology - which is essentially addressing the way the brain is communicating out to the endocrine (hormone) glands. This involves balancing brain neurotransmitters for changes in mood (depression, anxiety, irritability), sleep, pain, cravings and digestion as well as any changes in thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar and female/male hormonal status. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, wired and tired, your sleep has suffered and your hormones feel off-balanced -you are a great fit for my practice!

I specialize in identifying and treating the underlying causes of disease and/or systemic imbalances that give rise to symptoms of unwellness.
