Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 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.

Therapist

Welcome! I'm Erika Tweed, owner of See the Good Therapy. I love working with adults dealing with various life challenges, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, PTSD, self esteem, substance use, grief, relationship issues. I’m committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and come as you are without judgement. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact of trauma on our lives. I believe in the agency of each person, empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey.

I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, powerful, research-backed therapy that helps people heal from traumatic experiences, anxiety, or deeply rooted negative beliefs. . Additionally, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, fostering resilience and healthier coping strategies.

Together, we can work towards understanding your experiences, building coping skills, and cultivating a deeper sense of well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing and growth.
