Emalyn Gooding

I’m a Clinical Psychologist who works with individuals aged 15 and older, with a particular focus on supporting women, individuals navigating PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), those impacted by domestic violence, and individuals facing workplace challenges. My approach is informed by principles of equality, emphasizing empowerment, equity, and the recognition of how societal and cultural factors shape mental health experiences. I’m also deeply passionate about trauma work and its transformative potential. 

I stumbled into the field of psychology as a place to foster and grow my passion for understanding and supporting others. I feel privileged to hear people’s stories and to walk alongside them as they build resilience, grow, and move toward living more authentic and fulfilling lives. 

My professional journey in mental health and psychology includes working in addiction services, supporting youth and young adults, running groups, and addressing a wide range of challenges. I have also supported women of all ages who have experienced family and domestic violence. I use evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, and ACT, ensuring tailored care for diverse clients. My therapeutic work is grounded in creating collaborative and empowering relationships, helping clients reconnect with their inner strengths and challenge systemic influences on their mental health. 

On a personal note, I have firsthand experience of the power of self-understanding and the impact of labels in shaping one’s journey. This experience sparked a deep appreciation for psychological assessment and its potential to unlock self-awareness and self-compassion. 

Academically, I hold a master’s degree and am proud to be a clinically endorsed Board-Approved Supervisor, guiding and supporting the development of future clinicians in the field.
