Who I Work With

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.

What Is Somatic Experiencing (SE)?

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.

Practical Details

  • Insurance: I provide receipts for out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.

  • Licensure: Licensed in Florida and Connecticut; coaching available nationwide.

  • Payments: Zelle or private Venmo.

  • Format: Sessions are available in person (Palm Beach County) or virtually — both are equally effective.

  • Groups & Education: I offer group programs and psycho-educational video series for treatment centers, wellness companies, and online platforms.

Not Sure If We’re a Fit?

I offer a 15-minute consultation so you can share what you’re looking for and see if my approach resonates. Please review this website beforehand and email me at jendgoggin@gmail.com to schedule.

Note: At this time, I am unable to accept clients who are currently suicidal for private sessions.
