Jomie Goerge, LMSW
Therapist
Much of modern life asks us to move faster, disconnect from our bodies and to ignore the wisdom of the natural world. Over time that disconnect can show up as anxiety, burnout, grief, chronic stress or simply feeling like you have lost yourself. My work is built around helping people reconnect to themselves and I offer individual counseling for people anywhere in the state of Michigan and am available for in-office, telehealth or an outdoor walk and talk session.

How is sound related to health and wellbeing?
Believe it or not, humans have used sound as a tool for healing for more than 40,000 years. In either a group immersion or an individual sound session, a trained therapist will use singing bowls, tuning forks, bells, and other healing instruments to create a matrix of tones and vibrations that promote deep relaxation, clearing and rejuvenation. Sound therapy may reduce physical, mental, and emotional stress resulting in an improved overall sense of wellbeing and tranquility. This reduction in stress may also promote healing and vitality and boost the immune system. Following a sound session, many people report experiencing a deep state of physical relaxation resembling that of a deep tissue massage.

MARCH IS SOCIAL WORK MONTH!
The theme of 2026 Social Work Month is Uplift. Defend. Transform.
For more than a century, social workers have worked to improve the quality of human lives. They choose this work out of a deep commitment to help uplift, defend, and transform the lives of individuals, families and communities. Social workers are advocates who lend their voices to the voiceless and stand up to defend the vulnerable. The 2026 theme of Social Work Month, “Uplift. Defend. Transform” highlights the resolute spirit of the profession and the social workers who transform lives as they bring hope, healing, and justice to those they serve, even in times of profound change and amidst the most challenging circumstances.
