About me
My formal education has prepared me to counsel individual adults, adolescents, and children; groups; couples; parents; and families. I have completed specific course work in working with at-risk youth, LGBTQ population, individual with gender related issues, chemically dependent individuals, individuals/group in crisis situations, and clients with personality disorders. Currently, I hold a doctorate in professional counseling and a license of professional counseling. I currently work as a director of therapeutic service and student support service for a achievement school district in the Delta of Mississippi.
Counseling Background
I have worked with the following populations: Elderly (Caring Days, Community Counseling Services), Intellectually Disable (Community Counseling Services), At-risk youth children/adolescents with behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric issues (Diamond Grove Center), addicts, and college population. As previously stated, I offer individual, group, and family services to individual with personal, behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric issues. My theoretical orientation is Reality Therapy, which is cognitive based in its approach, due to my alignment with William Glasser perspective on human nature and behavior. His beliefs align with not helping people find defenses for their negative or inappropriate behaviors, but helping them acknowledge their behavior as being inappropriate or negative and then to learn how to act in a more logical and productive manner.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Aurthur Goodwin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Only one session with Dr. Goodwin so far, but I’m excited to see where it goes.
I’ve been attending weekly couples therapy sessions with Dr. Goodwin for some time now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very first session, he created a safe, non-judgmental space for both of us to express our concerns and work through tough issues. His approach is both compassionate and insightful, and he has an incredible ability to guide us towards a better understanding. Dr. Goodwin’s thoughtful questions and practical advice have been invaluable in helping us improve our communication. He’s professional, empathetic, and truly dedicated to helping his clients. We leave every session feeling more equipped to handle whatever comes our way. If you're looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and knows how to help, Dr. Goodwin is the one.
I love how authentic Dr. Goodwin is. He doesn’t take sides. He’s not robotic. He is very knowledgeable and he allows us to work out our own issues-he just facilitates and offers support. He is respectful and he is understanding. I love his personality. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.
Dr Goodwin created trust very early with my daughter and she enjoys the sessions they have together. She’s left with some things to mull over and options to feel/be different and authentic to herself.
Dr. Goodwin is very attentive and a master of his practice. So glad teen counseling matched me with him!
Very easy to talk to!
Absolutely amazing. You will be challenged in the best way to face all the topics covered in therapy.
Dr. Goodwin is absolutely the best. I swear he doesn’t take sides. He is very transparent and wants you to succeed and work through your issues. I’m very pleased with our sessions
love him!!!
So easy to talk to!
Dr. Goodwin has been very supportive and very validating in aspects of my life. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Goodwin.
With the two sessions I’ve had with Dr. Goodwin he has helped me a lot he is alert and willing to help me in my situation.
Dr. Goodwin is a phenomenal counselor. He's very welcoming to speak to and shows he understands both parties before giving direction. He provides a clear understanding for the whole party of what is being discussed as he reiterates what a person has said. He brings such positive energy to the room always!
Dr. Goodwin is an excellent provider. My husband and I believe that he’s a good fit for us in our marriage counseling. We have tried other therapies before where one or both of us have felt not properly heard by our provider however Goodwin is amazing! We highly recommend him to you and your family.
The best therapist I’ve ever had! Such a great listener and always helping to guide me in the direction I want to go. Dr. Goodwin is highly recommended to all my friends & family I hope others are lucky enough to have sessions with him.
He is an amazing therapist!
One of the best therapist ever amazing person to speak to and is genuinely there for you to help you through any issues you may have and push you forward to be the enst version of yourself you can be
Love him, he has helped me more than I ever thought he could.
Dr. Goodwin is the best therapist I have seen in 20+ years of therapy for a chronic health condition and all the chaos that brings!
Dr. Goodwin is nothing short of awesome! He has helped our marriage tremendously and I can't recommend him enough! WE LOVE HIM!
Dr Goodwin is fair and unbiased, I appreciate him for that. He’s helped us tremendously in communication efforts.
Dr. Goodwin is a great resource. He's a positive role model for effective communication, validation and helping you feel heard and understood. You can tell he cares deeply about his patience and has your best interest in-mind. Do yourself and a favor and choose Dr. Goodwin if you're able.
Dr Goodwin is educated, professional, kind, caring, nonjudgmental, listener, a friend. His skill set combined with his compassion and unique ability to make one feel safe is extraordinary. I went through a few therapists on the platform and was ready to give up as I wasn’t finding the right therapist for me. Then Aurthur was recommended to me by a friend and the app helped match me with him. I’m grateful I didn’t give up on therapy because of him
We’ve only just started, a few sessions in, but it’s been a game changer. He hears us, and actually understands us, together and separately as individuals he cares for us and our success as a couple, and we are very grateful.
Side note: Please make appointment lengths selectable, and let us book 4-6 appointments into the future!
I would like homework , to help us work through our problems.
I have enjoyed working with Arthur, I've valued being able to address my difficulties with his warm and accepting nature. Im polyamorous and pansexual and feel that Arthur was able to address these aspects of my identity in a helpful way. I would recommend.
He’s the best and you will not regret having a mental health professional like him on your side. I survived a very difficult time in my life thanks to him.
My experience with Aurthur has been excellent. Over my 56 years on this earth I have had retained the services of 3 different therapists at various periods in my life and Aurthur is by far the most effective. I feel that he keeps it real and authentic and has both real life as well as extensive professional experience under his belt . I also feel that he is ethical and he is both a caring individual while being a good professional. I would highly recommend Aurthur without question.
Good guy
Really appreciate Dr. Goodwin's expertise. But, more than that, I like that he is supportive and it always feels like he is on my side, even during tough conversations.
Dr. Goodwin is understanding with a no bs approach. I really like talking with him, he’s helped me move past some things and reconcile with others.
He is kind, compassionate, understanding, funny and will make you think. I appreciate his feedback and value his guidance.
Aurthur is my hero
Dr. Goodwin has remain reliable and consistent in providing counseling. He is knowledgeable and offers helpful feedback and resources pertaining to our discussions. It feels comforting to know that I can easily connect with him.
Knowledgeable, professional and allows me to express myself in a safe environment while providing another perspective with actionable suggestions for me to grow.
I was matched with Dr. Goodwin when I realized that I was unable to manage PTSD from a toxic job on my own. He's friendly, knowledgeable, offers new ways of thinking about problems, and that results in solutions that make navigating life easier. I've stayed on for months as new life problems emerged and his advice has been priceless. He is absolutely fantastic.
Dr. Goodwin is one of the most empathic, friendly and understanding people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
He has been a very effective and positive therapist for me. I have really appreciated his warm energy and sense of humor. He is definitely an amazing person and one of the best therapists I have had.
He is easy to talk to and caring and his advice/feedback is exactly right and what I needed to hear! We match well for our sessions and its been great, I am thankful :))
Dr. Goodwin in my opinion asked/prompted me with the appropriate questions for guidance. He has attempted various types of exercises with me that enabled me to think differently or with fresh perspectives. I appreciate that he checks up on me or sends me motivational quotes/messsages. He is a very good listener overall, and also has a very soothing voice. Thanks Dr. Goodwin.
Dr. Goodwin is kind and patient and males me feel at ease.
Dr. Goodwin is an inciteful and caring therapist who listens and offers guidance when needed. He also challenges you in this process to learn and grow.
Dr. Goodwin is a great counselor!
Dr Goodwin is authentic in his listening and responses to me. I have already seen big differences in myself and my life. More happiness…. I could not be more grateful
I was definitely a little unsure about signing up for teen counseling in the first place and very unsure if speaking to someone would actually be helpful.
I was matched with Dr. Goodwin shortly after signing up and my concerns were quickly put at ease. He's an exceptional listener and recommender, always making sure to take everything you have to say on board before he speaks. He's great at getting into the small details that you say, or don't, and offering constructive approaches to fixing your problems. He never tells you what you need, but tells you how to find it which I really appreciate. He's been a great supporter of mine and I couldn't recommend him enough.
I have been seeing Dr. Goodwin for couples counseling. It has only been a few months, but I am extremely satisfied with our sessions. He takes the time to really “listen” and hear our individual concerns. He asks plenty of questions to make us deeply think about our relationship and our ways of communication. I feel comfort in our video interactions, as if we were having these appointments live and in-person. I couldn’t be more happier with Dr. Goodwin and his non-judgmental perspective and guidance. He really goes above and beyond for us. I’m so grateful and am looking forward to not only having a healthier relationship, but also having a healthier mental outlook for myself and on life. Thank you Dr. Goodwin!
Dr. Goodwin seems to have communication lapses. He is not timely with responding and it is very difficult to get on his schedule. I’m in a middle of a crisis, and unfortunately not receiving any compassion or availability on his schedule.
The experience is new still, but I feel understood and heard. It means everything to me who doesn’t feel this way in my general life.
My husband and I have only just started counseling with Dr Goodwin. But in this short time he has been very attentive, checks in on us between sessions, seems very knowledgeable, listens very well and seems to understand our plight. We felt very comfortable talking to him. All in all we had a great impression of Dr. Goodwin and look forward to working with him.
Been with Aurthur for about 3 months, he was consistently understanding and respectful in communication. He provided plenty of great insight to improve my anxiety-prone mindset + my queer & LDR relationship. I feel much more confident working on myself moving onwards. There is always a lot to do, and I can always count on Aurthur to help steer me in the correct path.
Excellent approach to mental health
Dr. Goodwin has been the biggest help to me in everything that I have been struggling with. What I appreciate is that he keeps me accountable, truly listens, and helps guide me to reframe how I’m thinking about a situation. I feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful therapist!
AMAZING
Very personable, understanding, and conversational.
Dr Goodwin, Arthur as he likes to be called has given me the tools mentally to help overcome the difficulties that I’ve been going through in my life right now and he has given me the belief that I can achieve any that I need to inderpenantly. Thank you Arthur
Dr Goodwin is very professional and efficient. I feel that he listens to me and has got my back. I would not hesitate to refer him to a potential client.
This was my first time being vulnerable with anybody. I wasn’t too sure about the whole therapy or counseling thing but after the pandemic I thought, “why not?” It’s really helped a lot. Dr. Goodwin is amazing at listening and providing eye-opening advice, he creates this judgment free zone that still feels caring and kind. I recommend him if you want to feel like you’re talking with a friend who isn’t going to just hype you up through situations where you might be in the wrong — kind evaluation is how I view it, not so much criticism.
Dr. Goodwin is thoughtful, attentive and kind. I think he understands what I’m going through, and he makes sure that I’m getting what he thinks is best for me out of the therapy.
How did we get so lucky to be paired with Dr. Goodwin?! My boyfriend and I love our sessions with him. We find the time so valuable, and we've learned so much together. Dr. Goodwin makes us feel heard, understood, and comfortable, and he gives great advice. I love his perspective on love and life!
I’ve only participated in teencounseling.com for about a month now but already I feel like I’ve been incorporating what I’ve talked about with Dr. Goodwin in my present day life.
Aurthur is that friendly listener who listens to everything you’re saying. He has been wonderful to talk with for these past few months.
Approachable, knowledgeable, and dedicated are all ways I'd describe Dr. Goodwin. He immediately took steps towards improving my quality of life with thorough work.
Dr. Goodwin is very friendly, engaging, and a good listener. He always has follow up questions and I can tell he isn’t just going through the motions.
Always a step ahead.
Really pleased after my first session and looking forward to continuing to work together.
Dr. Goodwin is a godsend. He has been an angel in a very dark place for me these past few months, and I would refer him to anyone who has or has had issues to go over that may be weighting down their lives.
Thank you for being there for me.

Dr Goodwin is professional, kind and caring. He really listens and pays attention to you and your issues. I would highly recommend him.
Dr Arthur is a wonderful person and so easy to talk to. You can see from his life experience that he is able to relate to any situation with compassion and understanding. Thanks for all that you do.
Dr. Arthur is understanding, knowledgable, and caring. My girlfriend and I find it extremely comforting to talk to him.
Thank you for the words of motivation. They help create perspective.
Dr. Arthur Goodwin made me feel comfortable from the very first session. He is always there just to listen me talk about my feelings and things that are going on in my life. He has helped me a lot in just this short amount of time that I have been meeting with him. I would highly recommend him as a councillor!!!
Wonderful person. Listens to me, takes care in the things he says to me,
Dr. Goodwin is by far the best counsellor I’ve had - he does more to offer actionable advice and stays away from coddling so I’m not just nurturing unhealthy ways of thinking about my situation, there’s more perspective given there. He references techniques that are established, scary but helpful because you don’t engage in therapy to feel comfortable, and that has been very useful in only 2 sessions.
I don't know Aurthur too well yet, but from the one session I've had, I'm already feeling good about the journey I'm about to take with his help!
Persistant and caring...
Arthur is extremely attentive and always takes time to push me to work on myself. He doesn’t just validate everything he encourages me to find the truth in everything and be real.
My experience with Dr. Goodwin was very positive overall. He was very welcoming and understanding with my struggles and concerns. I would highly recommend him to other teencounseling.com users.
Arthur is attentive, supportive and compassionate. He's helped me tackle many of the issues and I've found myself on a path of improvement and self-actualization. Thank you Arthur!
Dr. Goodwin is so great I highly recommend him he’s a great listener very wise definitely one of the best
I just started working with Dr. Goodwin, but so far I've enjoyed it.
Within few sessions, Aurthur added a positive change to my life! Great listener, very passionate and caring. He is a life changer!
He was a perfect match for me!
They are fantastic. It has been helping me a lot to talk with Dr. Goodwin.
He has been listening and he has a pretty good idea on how to work with me. He has found ways that I am comfortable following. Overall a real good doctor!
So far the help I have received from him has made a very big impact in my life.. I’m still learning.. he supports me and he respects me in any decision I make and he has made it clear that the decision is ultimately mine but he will support me no matter what it is.. I have been to previous councelors who have told me what to do and what not to do..
Dr Goodwin is an excellent counseler. His method is very down to Earth. I also like that he gives additional reading to continue to work on things that we work on during our sessions. Highly recommend.
Dr. Goodwin has been an amazing resource for myself and husband this year. He took his time to understand and get to know us both. And gave us the tools to be able to work out our issues. He created a safe space for us to share. And objectively also helped us individually work on our gaps. It feels really great to have a neutral party helping us in the present and giving us tools to help us moving forward. It’s been a great experience!
