David Goode-Cross, PhD

Hello!  I’m glad you found us!

I’m The Goode Doctor™ David Goode-Cross, and I’m the founder of The Goode Practice Psychological Services.  I am a licensed psychologist in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, and I am also authorized to provide telepsychology with clients in multiple states through PSYPACT.  Earlier in my career, I was a professor, college counseling center director, and a health care administrator.  Now I get to work with some of the most gifted therapists I have ever encountered—right here in our practice.

I am not accepting new clients or patients because I now spend most of my time supervising and training therapists within the practice and across the country.  If you are looking for a therapist, I feel confident that any of the exceptionally talented clinicians on staff can help you.

My passion is helping therapists respond to the distinct needs of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients though practice development and clinical supervision.  I advocate for Culturally Responsive Psychotherapy through my work as an author, through working with regional and national psychological associations—and occasionally, through public speaking.

My dream has been to create a safe place where people can come, receive excellent psychological and psychiatric care, and feel affirmed in who they are.  I sincerely hope that you have a positive experience with our practice.

Take good care,

David (he/him)
