Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


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.

Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I’ve been counseling children, teens, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years - but in my experience, that’s not really what you want to know. What you really want to know is, can I help you? And is there hope for things to change for you? As a matter of fact, there is, and I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to take that journey towards healing and empowerment with you. We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Saginaw

Searching for therapists in Saginaw starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare Saginaw therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to focus on. Their profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and help you understand what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Saginaw, local therapist availability may vary, so virtual care can expand your options across Michigan. You may prefer an in-person office near Downtown, Carrollton, or another nearby area, or you may want the added flexibility of virtual appointments from home. Beyond location and format, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what each therapist highlights about their work.

Therapy in Saginaw can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Michigan therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
