Mary Goggins

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and supportive. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and provide practical feedback rather than simply telling you what you want to hear. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and genuine.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a desire to understand what helps people create meaningful, lasting change during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. Over the past 18+ years, I have had the privilege of working with adults facing trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, and other complex life challenges.

My goals for you

I help clients turn their goals into clear, manageable steps that feel realistic and meaningful. Together, we identify what they want to change, what may be getting in the way, and which strategies are most likely to help. I use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing to support progress.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin identifying what you would like help with. I’ll ask about your current concerns, relevant history, strengths, and goals while giving you space to share at a pace that feels comfortable.
