Interview: Sissy Goff
I am so excited to have Sissy Goff on the Still Becoming podcast. I have admired her work and writing for awhile now.
We talk about the rise of anxiety in girls, as well as how to understand this important topic and what to do if you are encountering it. Sissy is warm, relatable, and very knowledgeable. I trust you will enjoy this interview as much as I did.
Sissy Goff, MEd, LPC-MHSP, spends most of her days counseling girls and their families alongside her assistant/pet therapist, Lucy the Havanese.
Sissy serves as the director of child and adolescent counseling for Daystar Counseling Ministries (Nashville, TN) where she has worked with girls and their families for more than 25 years. Sissy Goff is the author of eleven books including Are My Kids on Track?, Intentional Parenting, Taming the Technology Monster and Raising Girls.
Her latest books focus on the current epidemic of anxiety among young girls. Raising Worry-Free Girls: Helping Your Daughter Feel Braver, Stronger, and Smarter in an Anxious World (for parents) and Braver, Stronger, Smarter: A Girl’s Guide to Overcoming Worry and Anxiety (for girls ages 8-11) will release fall 2019.
A graduate of the University of Arkansas (psychology) and Vanderbilt University (Human Development Counseling), Sissy has worked at Daystar Counseling Ministries (Nashville, TN) since 1993.
Sissy loves cycling, water-skiing, and the original Mary Poppins movie. When not doting on her nephew Henry, she is on a quest for the perfect taco, chips and salsa.
