ABOUT ME

I’m Melissa Golub

(she/her)

Licensed Psychotherapist
Befriending Your Body Program Certified Teacher
Registered Yoga Instructor

I have been a clinician in the mental health field for 18 years, graduating from Columbia University with a Master's Degree in Social Work in 2005. I am trained in EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and also incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion practices into my work with clients. Additionally, I am a Befriending Your Body Program (BFYB)™® Certified Teacher.

I practice from the perspective that everyone has the capacity to find peace, empowerment, and freedom within.

A powerful part of my personal journey has been my yoga practice. I am a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher, registered with the Yoga Alliance. In 2016 I completed my 200 hour teacher training in Vinyasa Flow with Gopi Kinnicutt and Keli Lalita of Bhakti Yoga and Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs, NY. I am also honored to have received my Level 2 Restorative Yoga Therapeutics Training in 2019 from Ann Saffi Biasetti, PhD, LCSW-R, C-IAYT, also of Yoga Mandali.

Thank you for being here. I am honored to bear witness to your story and support you on this journey.
