My name is Gennifer Michelle Goodloe (she/her), but please call me Michelle! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Georgia and Illinois and the owner and founder of The Essence of Healing LLC. I am a Black, cisgender, bisexual, millennial woman, spouse and mother. For over 10 years, I have worked in clinical and non-profit settings with people who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, childhood abuse, compassion fatigue and professional burnout. These experiences have inspired me to create my virtual private practice, to help you have a healthier relationship with yourself and with others.
The Essence of Healing LLC is a virtual therapeutic practice, designed to help adults find healing from traumatic relationships, perfectionism and professional burnout. My practice is centered on addressing issues such as surviving unhealthy relationships with loved ones; experiencing anxiety by over-thinking or negative self-talk and; discovering how to set boundaries assertively and; recovering from the fatigue of people-pleasing and doing (too much) for others. In therapy, we can work together to find ways to cope and find emotional safety from workplace exploitation, harmful relationships, racial injustice, systemic oppression and exposure to racially-motivated and gender-based violence. As your therapist, my focus is to support you on your journey towards feeling and living better.
