Katherine Goodman, PhD

Dr. Katherine Goodman is a licensed clinical psychologist in California and Hawaii. Founder of Good Mind. Underneath that, I'm a curious observer of the human mind.

I've always been fascinated by the way seemingly unrelated pieces of a person's life eventually reveal themselves to be deeply connected. A dream. A recurring relationship. An unexpected emotional reaction. A memory that resurfaces years later. What first appears random often begins to tell a story.

To me, therapy is about becoming deeply acquainted with yourself. My hope is that, over time, your inner world becomes as familiar to you as the back of your hand. I believe there's something profoundly freeing about understanding the inner workings of your own mind. When the pieces begin to fit together, you stop wondering, “Why am I like this?” or “Is something wrong with me?” You begin to trust yourself.

From that place, life feels different. You become more deeply connected to the people around you, more resilient in the face of life's inevitable uncertainty, and more confident that, whatever comes your way, you'll be able to find your footing again.
