Somatic Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety, and Burnout in Palm Beach, Florida, Virtual Florida and Connecticut.
When You’re Ready for Relief That Talk Therapy Alone Didn’t Give You
If you’ve tried to “think your way” out of stress, overwhelm, or trauma and it hasn’t worked, you’re not broken — your body simply needs a different kind of healing.
Why Somatic Therapy Works When You’re Stuck in Survival Mode
Somatic therapy is different because it treats not just the mind, but the nervous system — the part of you that holds trauma, stress, and long-standing patterns of overwhelm.
My clients come to me when they’re:
Tired of always being on edge
Unable to relax, even when things are “fine”
Exhausted by anxiety or emotional burnout
Overwhelmed by people-pleasing or perfectionism
Feeling disconnected from themselves
Frustrated that talk therapy helped them understand, but not feel better
Somatic therapy finally addresses what your body has been holding onto — so you can exhale again.
You’ve been strong for too long.
You’ve pushed through everything… until your body finally said “no more.”
You want to stop reacting and start living.
You’re ready for therapy that finally works at the level where trauma lives — the body.
You deserve healing that lasts.
I’m Jennifer Goggin, LPC, LMHC, SEP —You can call me Jen — a trauma-informed therapist. I help high-achieving adults, overwhelmed professionals, and individuals carrying “invisible” emotional pain in Palm Beach, Virtual Florida and Virtual Connecticut, finally understand what’s happening in their nervous system so they can feel grounded, whole, and at home in their own lives again.
My work extends beyond traditional talk therapy, helping clients who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected to finally move out of survival mode. Many of the people I work with have tried talk therapy before and didn’t get the relief they hoped for — and they come to me wanting something deeper, more practical, and actually transformative.
Clients describe my approach as warm, direct, and deeply validating. I teach you how to work with your body instead of against it, how to make sense of your reactions instead of blaming yourself, and how to rebuild safety, clarity, and confidence from the inside out. My goal is simple: to help you feel like yourself again — not the version that’s coping, but the version that’s living.
If you’re ready to understand your patterns, heal what’s driving your stress or trauma, and feel more grounded and in control, you’re in the right place. Below is more about my and on the left, is more information about me and my practice.
FAQs on Somatic therapy
-
Somatic therapy is a body-based therapeutic approach that helps you heal the nervous system, release trauma, and reduce chronic stress responses. Rather than only talking about your experiences, we work with how your body has been holding those experiences — tension, overwhelm, shutdown, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion.
-
Somatic therapy is especially helpful for adults who are:
• Burned out or overwhelmed
• Stuck in fight, flight, or freeze
• Dealing with anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress
• High achievers who push through everything
• Sensitive, empathetic, or “always the strong one”
• Tired of coping skills and want deeper healing -
Yes. Somatic therapy is one of the most effective trauma approaches because it works gently and slowly, without forcing you to relive your past. You do not need to retell your trauma story for healing to happen.
-
Talk therapy helps you understand your story. Somatic therapy helps your body complete the stress and trauma responses that talk therapy can’t reach. Many of my clients come to me after traditional therapy helped them “think about” their trauma but didn’t help them feel different.

No. Somatic Experiencing (SE) can be non-touch and fully talk-based. Sometimes we use self-touch (i.e. hand on shoulder).
We focus on internal sensations, patterns, and nervous-system cues.
You do not have to do anything physical or uncomfortable.n -
Many clients begin noticing shifts — feeling calmer, more grounded, more aware — within a few sessions. Deeper trauma work takes time, but somatic therapy often creates noticeable, subtle change more quickly than talk therapy because it works directly with the nervous system.
