Purpose. Resilience. Growth.

About Dr. Alasdair Goodwill

I'm a dually registered Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University.

My forensic work involves risk assessment and investigative analysis. But my clinical practice — The Resolute — focuses on helping people strengthen their mental and physical well-being through purpose-driven therapy and coaching.

Why I Do This Work

I've spent my life pursuing growth in different domains, whether through contemplative practice, bodybuilding, varsity sports, or academic research. That drive to learn, adapt, and improve is central to how I approach therapy. I believe we're all capable of more than we realize, and sometimes we just need the right guidance and tools to get there.

If I had to sum up my worldview, I'd point to two books that seem unrelated but share a common thread: Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Both are about exploration, self-discovery, and the ethics of becoming who you're meant to be.
