Willa Goodfellow’s
early work with troubled teens as an Episcopal priest shaped an edgy
perspective and preaching style. A bachelor’s degree from Reed College and a
master’s from Yale gave her the intellectual chops to read and comprehend scientific
research about mental illness—and her life mileage taught her to recognize and
call out the bull.
So, she set out to turn her own misbegotten sojourn in the
land of antidepressants into a writing career. Her journalism has attracted the
attention of leading psychiatrists who worked on the DSM-5. She is certified in
Mental Health First Aid, graduated from NAMI’s Peer to Peer, and has presented
on mental health recovery at NAMI events and Carver Medical College of Medicine
at the University of Iowa.
Her first book, Prozac Monologues: A Voice from the Edge, was published by She Writes Press in August, 2020 and is available anywhere. How about supporting your local bookstore by ordering through bookshop.org for the paperback or libro.fm for the audio?
Today Willa hikes, travels, plans seven course dinner menus, works on the next writing project, Bar Tales of Costa Rica, and stirs up trouble. She lives with her wife Helen in Central Oregon and still misses her dog Mazie.
