I am not accepting new clients or waitlisters at this time.

Adrienne Goloda, LMSW-C

Along with being a licensed psychotherapist, I am also an ex-bodyworker and bartender, lapsed poet, and camrade in lived-experience with mental dis-ease.

I specialize in embodiment, a framework that is rooted in both emergent neuroscience and timeless ways of knowing and being a human. I continuously study body-mind-spirit healing modalities. I most recently trained under Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, aka author of Women who Run with the Wolves and internationally renowned creatrix.

My core trainings/influences include: Jungian Somatics via Jane Clapp; the Embodied Recovery Institute (informed by both Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing); numerous professional workshops in trauma and the body/nervous-system, including the application of Polyvagal Theory via Stephen Porges and Deb Dana and integrating it with Parts-Work (aka Internal Family Systems by Richard Schwartz). Adjacent to my clinical training, I have completed many rounds of Activate Your Inner Jaguar courses via Kimberly Ann Johnson. I am also a Level 1 iRest yoga-nidra/meditation teacher.

I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Western Michigan University, where I interned in community mental health and a state psychiatric hospital alongside being a teaching/research assistant. I also hold a degree in English/creative-writing from Kalamazoo College.

I am a proud first-generation college graduate and only child of a singular single-mom.

I adore my little black cat Morpheus, quiet, movement, the desert, fancyish clothes, free-spirits, books and finding beauty everywhere. 

 Psychotherapy is available to MI-residents-only; happenings are available to everyone/anywhere! but are not a replacement for psychotherapy.
