Geoffrey Golia

Geoffrey Golia is a psychotherapist and clinical social worker who brings warmth, compassion, and flexibility to his therapeutic work. He views therapy as a collaborative process and is passionate about helping people tap into their own capacity for healing and meaningful change.

Before training as a clinician, he experienced the transformative effects of psychotherapy firsthand as a patient, an experience that motivated him to shift careers. He earned a Master of Social Work from New York Universitys Silver School of Social Work in 2012 and has since built a practice grounded in social justice and shared purpose.

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. These experiences have reinforced his belief that emotional well-being is central to personal and professional success and that everyone deserves a reflective space for change and healing.

His approach is eclectic and skills-based. He has completed trainings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and DBT for Substance Use Disorders, psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies, trauma-informed methods, and Motivational Interviewing. He is a licensed clinical social worker in both New York and Connecticut and draws on a diverse toolkit to tailor treatment to each persons needs.

Geoffrey emphasizes the idea that individuals carry resources for their own recovery and liberation, and he supports clients in accessing those strengths. He looks forward to the opportunity to work together.
