Because you deserve to feel safe, calm, and at home in your own body

Hi!  I’m Jennifer Goggin, LPC, LMHC, SEP —you can call me Jen. 

I help high-functioning adults find calm, resilience, and lasting healing through Somatic experiencing in Palm Beach, Florida , Virtual Florida & Virtual Connecticut.

When “Doing All the Right Things” Still Doesn’t Bring Relief

You’ve worked hard on yourself. Maybe you’ve been in therapy, built a career, raised a family, or cultivated a solid wellness routine. From the outside, you look put-together. But on the inside, you might still feel:

  • Anxious or burned out, even when life looks “good” on paper

  • Disconnected from your body, or stuck in cycles of tension, shutdown, or overdrive

  • Frustrated by patterns that keep resurfacing—codependency, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or unresolved trauma

  • Spiritually curious, sensing there’s more to healing than talking it out—but unsure where to turn

If this resonates, you’re not broken—you’re human. And you’re ready for a different kind of therapy.

A Deeper Way to Heal

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who are ready to go beyond traditional talk therapy and create real, embodied change. Using Somatic experiencing, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and an integrative lens, we gently work with the nervous system to:

  • Release trauma held in the body without re-living the past

  • Restore your sense of safety, self-trust, and emotional resilience

  • Shift long-standing patterns at the root—rather than just managing symptoms

  • Integrate mind, body, and (if desired) spirituality for a more grounded, authentic life

My Professional Background — And Why It Matters

This breadth of experience allows me to meet you where you are—whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, family-of-origin wounds, or spiritual growth—and tailor therapy to your unique nervous system and goals.

Who I Work Best With

I’m the right fit for individuals who are:

  • Therapy-savvy and seeking something deeper than surface-level insight

  • High-functioning but carrying unseen stress, trauma, or emotional weight

  • Open to body-based therapy, functional medicine, or a spiritually curious approach

  • Ready for change that’s both gentle and transformational

I support individuals navigating:

FAQS About My Practice

  • Many of my clients are high-functioning, growth-oriented adults who feel like they’ve done a lot of personal work already — yet something deeper still needs healing.

    You may benefit from working with me if you’re:

    • In stable recovery from addiction or eating disorders and ready to explore underlying patterns

    • Living with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or codependency that talk therapy alone hasn’t shifted

    • A parent struggling with a child’s addiction or fertility challenges

    • An adoptee or survivor of childhood neglect or abuse

    • A therapist, medical professional, or first responder carrying secondary trauma or burnout

    • A 9/11 survivor, veteran, or front-line worker holding unresolved stress in your body

    • A woman navigating grief, loss, or a major life transition

    • Someone with neurodiverse or highly sensitive (HSP) wiring who longs to feel more grounded and understood

    I can serve as your primary therapist or collaborate with your current care team, offering Somatic Experiencing as a supplemental approach. As a Qualified Supervisor for LMFTs and LMHCs in Florida, I also mentor clinicians who want to bring a deeper, integrative lens to their work.

    Alongside individual therapy, I lead groups and workshops that teach nervous system regulation and practical tools for resilience.

  • Somatic Experiencing is a body-based therapy that helps release trauma and stress stored in the nervous system.

    Instead of reliving painful memories, SE gently guides you to notice and shift the body’s natural responses — like fight, flight, or freeze — so you can:

    • Feel calmer and more regulated

    • Heal without being retraumatized

    • Build emotional resilience from the inside out

    As Dr. Peter Levine, the founder of SE, explains: “Trauma isn’t about what happened — it’s about what remains in the body.”

    Unlike EMDR, SE doesn’t require revisiting specific memories. It works with sensations and body awareness, making it uniquely effective for people who’ve tried other therapies without lasting relief.

  • “Jen has been a sensitive guide on my journey through some issues holding me back from living a fuller life. Today, after working together, I feel much freer and happier, enjoying all the gifts life has brought me.” -M.T.

    “I had been talking and thinking and working for so many years, an expert in 'therapy,' and still did not feel like I lived within myself. Finding Somatic Experiencing and working with Jen has shown me how to connect to the present, settle into the safety of my body, and explore a new capacity for joy. My loneliness is transforming to openness, and my heart has expanded wider than I ever hoped. I am so grateful for Jen who has lovingly guided me as I come back to myself.” -K.O.

    “Jennifer is a warm and intuitive therapist. When researching therapists, I interviewed several and I felt an immediate connection with Jenn. Her Somatic Experiencing expertise has provided me with skills to self-regulate and manage anxiety. Jenn sets a safe and sacred container that allowed me explore deep trauma and “come out” the other side feeling like my whole Self.

    I highly recommend Jennifer as a powerful guide on your healing journey” -W.H.
