Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Goodyear, AZ


You may look like you are holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, co-occurring concerns, and difficult life transitions.

With 19 years of behavioral health experience, I bring extensive experience in addiction and recovery and am trained in EMDR through the Francine Shapiro EMDR Institute. I understand that people are more than a diagnosis and that the ways we learn to cope often make sense in the context of what we have lived through—even when those same patterns are no longer helping us today.

My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also doing meaningful work toward change. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor therapy to your needs, goals, strengths, and readiness.

I offer IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS in Goodyear, Arizona, serving the West Valley, as well as virtual therapy throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.

***Practice is currently full, waitlist is open, contact directly***

With over 20 years in healthcare and working as a Family Nurse Practitioner, the desire to treat patients better as a “whole” combined with the COVID pandemic of 2020 nearly caused me to stop providing care entirely. Essentially, I was fed up with the medical care being offered to many. Instead of walking away from patient care, I chose a different path. My focus shifted to treating the mental health of the patients & families I have compassionately taken care of in the past,
