 Hello.
I'm Dr. Kyle Good. I want to share with you my passion for helping
others through my unique approach. I am a
special type of counselor who
combines my expertise as a
Ph.D.
level counselor / therapist with my experience of
having been a school
principal
and teacher to successfully help adolescents, single parents, couples, and families for over
23 years.
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 and learning how to depend on
wonderful people
who have
supported
and 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, feelings of
shame,
having
low self-esteem,
and going through
bad relationships
right and left.
Working through these
challenges
with a professional (combined with the support of great friends and spending
over 20 years in Al-Anon), I'm now living the life I've always
imagined. I've created a
good life
here in the
Seattle area, and I'm in a
great relationship
(finally).
I find
deep joy
in helping people through difficult times as as a counselor / therapist and
as the founder of "Opening
Doors to Endless Opportunities."
I also enjoy my
wonderful friends
and lose myself in my favorite hobbies.
I am
honored
to be receiving many awards from
across Washington State for my
23 years
of
successful
work with families. I have a
deep passion
for helping families, adult men and women, children,
adolescents, and couples find relief and
solutions
in order to get their
lives
back on track.
I have a successful track record using a family
systems approach along with powerful, eclectic, dynamic techniques. I
deeply listen
in order to really
understand;
I care about "getting" where you are coming from. I know what it means
to
struggle
with difficult situations and come out on the other end having found
relief with hope of a brighter future.
In addition to counseling and therapy, I enjoy presenting workshops for
families giving them practical, effective strategies they can
"use the next day"
to
resolve conflicts,
relieve tension, and experience
happiness.
I am also an instructor for Seattle Pacific University's Professional
Certification Program for Washington State teachers. I love combining
the field of psychology with
education.
I am a life-long learner. I am
inspired
by keeping current and
learning
about the latest, most
effective
approaches to
help
the people I'm working with.
I am currently enrolled in a year-long program called "Clinical Theory and
Practice" through which I am earning
additional certification.
I love
speaking
to groups
pro bono
(as a way to give back to the community)
about successfully working with children and adolescents, motivating the
unmotivated, dealing with
difficult people,
and reaching our dreams (based on my life story: "Going
from Poverty to Ph.D.").
Contact me to speak at your event, and I'll do my best to make it happen.
In addition to being a teacher, school principal, counselor, therapist, and
personal coach, I have
also worked for Holland-America Cruise Lines as Director of Passenger
Services. It was a wonderful job that allowed me to travel all
around
the world. Experiencing, first-hand, other cultures 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.
I want to help you build a
positive future,
relieve
stress and
anxiety,
make healthier choices, and increase
self-esteem
and confidence. If you've
lost hope,
I can help you put your life back together so that you can have the life
you've always wanted.
