Dr. Kyle Good, Ph.D., M.Ed., LMHC: Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Hello.  I'm Dr. Kyle Good. 
For over 25 years, I have been successfully helping children, adolescents, and parents by combining my expertise as a Ph.D. level psychotherapist with my experience of having been an awarding winning school principal and nationally recognized teacher.

I was born here in the Pacific Northwest.  My parents divorced when I was in first grade, and I grew up in poverty from elementary through high school.  After high school, I was the first person in my family to graduate from college.  I broke the cycle of poverty by studying and working hard with the support of wonderful people who have helped me along this journey called life.

I, too, worked with a counselor in order to address my own issues of being a child of divorce, feeling shame, and having low self-esteem
.

Working through these challenges with a professional combined with the support of great friends and family members, I am living the life I had only imagined as a child.    

I find fulfillment in helping children and adolescents
work tthrough difficult challenges.

I have a successful track record using a family systems approach along with powerful, research-proven, dynamic child and adolescent psychotherapy techniques.  I deeply listen in order to really understand
the issues.  I know what it means to work through difficult situations and come out on the other end having found real solutions.

In addition to counseling and psychotherapy, I enjoy presenting workshops for parent groups by providing practical, effective strategies that can be "used the next day" in order to resolve conflicts, relieve tension, and experience happiness. 

I am also an instructor for Seattle Pacific University's ProTeach Certification Program for Washington State teachers.  I love combining the fields of
psychology and education
because I am inspired by keeping current and learning about the latest, most effective approaches to help the families with whom I work.
  In fact, I contributed a chapter in the book, "Igniting Brilliance" (2011) titled "Integral Education: Community Building" in which I highlight the importance of "community" within the 21st century integral classroom.

In addition to being a teacher, school principal, and psychotherapist, I have also worked for the Holland-America Cruise Line as Director of Passenger Services.  It was a wonderful job that allowed me to travel
around the world.  Experiencing other cultures
, first-hand, has really opened my eyes and heart with a profound appreciation and respect for differences and similarities as we all belong to this place called Earth.

My purpose is to help children, adolescents, and families
relieve stress and anxiety, make healthier choices, increase self-esteem and confidence, as well as solve other challenges in order to build a positive future.  If hope is fading, I can help you with putting your family's life back on track so that you can enjoy positive relationships with each other.

Please call me at
(206) 550-3596 or email me at DrKyle@DrKyle.org to make an appointment.  I'm here to help. 

My
Kirkland office is conveniently located just off 1-405.

I’m confident that, together, we can resolve the issues you face with your child.
