Sound Familiar?

You've been let down before. We know.

The system wasn't built for you. That's exactly why Goliath Advocacy exists — to offer something genuinely different.

Our Story
Why Goliath

Here's how we're different

No BS. No empty promises. Just real support from people who genuinely get it.

🌱

Empower, Not Replace

We teach self-advocacy skills while providing backup support — building your confidence alongside your capabilities.

🎯

Practical, Not Theoretical

Life skills coaching happens in your kitchen, at the grocery store, on the bus — wherever the skill actually matters.

⚡

Fast & Flexible

No months-long waitlists. Private-pay services mean you get support when you need it, how you need it.

🧠

Neurodiversity-Affirming

We don't try to make you "act normal." We help you build skills in ways that work for YOUR brain and YOUR life.

🤝

Lived Experience

We understand executive dysfunction, sensory overwhelm, and masking — because it's our reality too.

💙

You're a Person, Not a Paycheck

We succeed when YOU succeed. We're invested in your long-term outcomes — not just the next invoice.

James Dedrickson Founder — Goliath Advocacy

Lived Experience

Real understanding from someone who's walked a similar path

Self-Determination

You lead the way — we follow your goals, not ours

Mutual Respect

Equal partnership, not a helper/helped dynamic

Hope & Recovery

A living example that growth is always possible

Peer Support Philosophy

Support rooted in shared experience

As a Certified Peer Support Specialist (in training), founder James Dedrickson brings something most advocacy organizations simply can't offer: the power of someone who truly gets it.

Peer support isn't about having all the answers — it's about sharing what has worked, being a living example of resilience, and walking alongside you with genuine understanding. This philosophy is woven into everything we do.
