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

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.
