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 Regain might be different.
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.
He is an amazing therapist!
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.
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 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!
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.
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!
Always a step ahead.
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. 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!
