ABOUT ME

I’m Melissa Golub

(she/her)

Licensed Psychotherapist
EMDRIA Certified Therapist Advanced Befriending Your Body Program Certified Teacher
Registered Yoga Instructor

I have been a clinician in the mental health field for 20 years, graduating from Columbia University with a Master's Degree in Social Work in 2005. My clinical practice incorporates several evidence-based modalities, including being an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Additionally, I am an Advanced Certified Teacher of the Befriending Your Body Program (BFYB)™®, and I regularly integrate mindfulness and self-compassion practices into my work with clients.

My practice is rooted in 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.
