Dr. Kristin Good, Psychologist
About me
With over twenty years of professional experience, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, who uses Strength and Evidence-based techniques to help people overcome symptoms of anxiety and /or depression. I meet you where you are using a positive Client-centered approach. This means we work on your priorities, in English or Spanish. We establish your goals, learn and practice new skills that you will be able to use throughout your life to meet future challenges, and successfully improve the quality of your life-to your standards. I see problems as opportunities to change and grow. What I enjoy most about my work, is using my training and experience to help people feel listened to, to help them understand their feelings, the feelings of others and to use that greater understanding to develop greater self-compassion and self-appreciation. I enjoy helping people reduce their pain and suffering and begin to feel empowered to go beyond merely surviving and begin to really thrive, realizing their potential to live a fuller, more satisfying and meaningful life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Kristin Good. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Good has been with me through thick and thin. As a therapist I've found her to be not just a shoulder to cry on, but also a staunch advocate for my own dignity and welfare in all areas of my life. Dr. Good combines a wonderfully empathetic approach to identifying issues with a incisive eye for family dynamics, allowing her to work hand-in-hand with me to develop effective therapeutic measures that I use every day of my life. She's kind, she's funny, she cares. I give her a 10/10.
