What is Somatic Experiencing therapy?

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation, developed by Dr. Peter Levine. Rather than focusing on thoughts or memories, SE works directly with the nervous system to help complete the stress responses that got interrupted during overwhelming experiences. Sessions focus on body sensations, breath, and nervous system awareness. You do not need to retell or relive traumatic events. SE is particularly effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress that has not responded to talk therapy alone.

Do you offer telehealth therapy in Florida and Connecticut?

Yes. Jennifer Goggin offers virtual therapy to clients throughout the entire state of Florida and throughout Connecticut. Sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera. In-person sessions are available at the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida office for clients who prefer face-to-face work.

Do you accept insurance?

Jennifer Goggin is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. A superbill - an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurance requires - is provided upon request. Many clients with PPO plans can receive partial reimbursement through their out-of-network mental health benefits. Payment is accepted via Health Savings Account, Venmo, and Zelle. Contact the practice directly to discuss current session rates.

What therapy specialties does Jennifer Goggin offer?

Jennifer specializes in trauma and PTSD therapy, anxiety therapy, depression therapy, somatic therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and CBT therapy. She also offers therapy specifically for stressed moms and high-functioning adults who feel stuck despite having done significant personal work. Her integrative approach draws from Somatic Experiencing, CBT, attachment theory, mindfulness, and neurobiology. Sessions are available in person in Palm Beach Gardens and via telehealth in Florida and Connecticut.

How do I get started with therapy at Jennifer Goggin's practice?

The first step is a free 15-minute consultation call. You share what you are looking for, ask any questions about the approach, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no obligation. If it is a good match, a first session is scheduled to explore your history, goals, and what your nervous system needs. If not, Jennifer will connect you with another therapist in her network. You can schedule via the contact form at jennifergogginlmhc.com or by calling (203) 400-2343.
