Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Geoffrey M. Golia and I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. I strive to always be a warm, compassionate, and flexible practitioner, with a passion for helping people help themselves. I am consistently awed by people’s capacity to overcome challenges and live a life of purpose and happiness, and I feel privileged that I can support them on that journey.
Before I became a practitioner, I was a patient who experienced the transformative nature of psychotherapy and a therapeutic alliance with a therapist first hand. That experience inspired me to change careers. I received my Masters in Social Work from NYU’s Silver School of Social Work in 2012 with goal of engaging a diverse array of people in therapeutic conversations in a spirit of shared fate and social justice.
Throughout my professional career, I have worked with a broad range of people, families, and groups. These include justice-involved and formerly-incarcerated young men, college students, adolescents and adults from 18 years of age to 60, children affected by the foster care system, and people with substance use disorders and co-occuring mental health issues. This work has shaped my view that emotional well-being is at the foundation of one’s personal and professional success, and that all people deserve a reflective space to seek change and healing.
My practice is eclectic and I’ve built a diverse toolbox, having completed trainings in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and DBT for Substance Use Disorders, Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and Motivational Interviewing, to name a few. One current that runs through my work is an emphasis on the notion that each individual has the means of their own healing and liberation inside of them. I’m looking forward to working with you.

Over an 11-year career he has worked with a wide range of individuals, families, and groups, including justice-involved and formerly incarcerated young men, college students, adolescents and adults ages 18 to 60, children impacted by the foster care system, and people facing substance use disorders alongside other mental health concerns.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, research and clinical experience show that online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether that is a video appointment, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients are free to request a different therapist at any time if they prefer another fit. Online therapy offers a way to access skilled care with convenience while working toward the same goals as face-to-face treatment.
