See what our patients are saying about Doveal Goins

Been with her almost a year. She's great with tweens/teens/young adults. She's passionate about her work. Other adjectives for her: Understanding, knowledgeable, empathic, transparent, honest, very likeable. Approachable. Shes a good listener and gives practical feedback. We've had a few ah-ha moments with her. She does make you think and analyze your thoughts, your energy, your reasons for why you do what you do. If you have anxiety, low self esteem or if you're suicidal...you should give her call.

I absolutely LOVE going to see Dr. Goins. She immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable on the very first appointment. We definitely took a deep dive into issues I have been dealing with and have been getting to the root. She makes me feel heard and understood, which is hard for me to feel with other people. She is so compassionate and caring, while also getting you to take a step back and see the bigger picture. I highly recommend going to her.
