Nicole Goodin, MD

Born and raised in Lexington, Dr. Nicole Goodin spent five years in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she was Triple Board Chief Resident for Child Psychiatry at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. She also served as psychiatrist on duty at the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center. She graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Furman University before completing her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.

Dr. Goodin said she has a holistic philosophy of care and “treating the whole person – mind, body and spirit.”  

“It was that dual aspect of being able to do therapy as well as treat the biological aspect of mental illness, which is where medicine comes into play, that really led me to pursue medical school,” Dr. Goodin said. “I’m also big on some of the simple things, like getting enough exercise and sleep, because all of that co-mingles to address your mental health.”
