Jane Linsley, LICSW LADC1 (she/her)

Jane brings over 30 years of experience in behavioral health and addictions, and has been a valued member of the Gould Farm Clinical Team since 2004. From 2006 until recently, she served as Clinical Director, helping guide the team’s approach to care and shaping the community’s understanding of recovery. A graduate of Smith College School for Social Work, Jane is licensed in social work and addictions, with additional certifications in Trauma and Women’s Relational Theory of Mental Health.

Today, Jane continues her work at Gould Farm in a part-time clinician role, offering her expertise directly to Guests and participating in the team’s collaborative care process. She maintains her passion for exploring and integrating new therapeutic modalities — especially Open Dialogue — which foster healing within a rich network of relationships. She is passionate about understanding the effects of stigma and isolation, and about strengthening the interpersonal bonds that aid recovery for both individuals and their communities.

Jane’s own recovery journey led her to Gould Farm, where she finds freedom, refuge, and renewal in nature, gardening, and relationships — both with colleagues and with the Guests who come here to heal. She is sustained by deep friendships, strong community ties, and the opportunity to grow alongside those she serves.
