Dr. Goecke-Watson exclusively treats individuals who have experienced psychological aftereffects of domestic violence using evidence-based methods in both group and individual psychotherapy. Her training background stems from her time working as a domestic violence advocate, the robust coursework and trauma-focused training experiences she completed while she obtained her Masters and Doctoral degrees in Counseling from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, and from the numerous survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence with whom she has worked in multiple settings since completing her degree.

Dr. Goecke-Watson’s expertise on the topic of domestic violence and passion for advocacy has led to her being a sought-after presenter and trainer. She has presented more than 30 trainings on domestic violence to a variety of audiences including mental health professionals, lawyers, individuals working to obtain mediation certification, and domestic violence shelter advocates. In addition, Dr. Goecke-Watson has taught multiple classes at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and is an adjunct instructor for the People Incorporated Training Institute. Outside of her psychotherapeutic training and treatment efforts, Dr. Goecke-Watson is actively engaged in mental health-based legislative efforts through the Minnesota Psychological Association.
