Mary Goggins, LCSW, LIAC, CSAC, ICS, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, independently licensed substance use disorder counselor, and founder of Lantern Recovery Services. With over 19 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction treatment, Mary is passionate about helping individuals find healing, hope, and lasting recovery.
Mary specializes in substance use disorders, addiction recovery, relapse prevention, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring mental health conditions. She brings extensive experience across the continuum of addiction treatment, including medical detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient counseling. In addition to her clinical social work licenses, Mary holds independent substance use counseling credentials in Arizona (LIAC) and Wisconsin (CSAC). She is also credentialed as an Independent Clinical Supervisor (ICS) in Wisconsin and is approved on the Arizona Clinical Supervisor Registry.
Mary is 12-step friendly and understands the important role that recovery fellowships, sponsorship, accountability, spiritual growth, and community support can play in long-term recovery. She values the principles of honesty, personal responsibility, surrender, and service that are central to many 12-step and faith-based recovery approaches. Mary helps individuals integrate these principles with evidence-based clinical treatment while respecting each person’s individual recovery journey and spiritual beliefs.
Recognizing that addiction affects not only individuals but also their relationships and families, Mary helps clients address codependency, unhealthy relationship patterns, boundaries, rebuilding trust, and the emotional impact of a loved one’s substance use. She provides ongoing recovery support and relapse prevention counseling, helping individuals strengthen their recovery foundations and navigate life’s challenges while maintaining meaningful, lasting change.
Mary understands that addiction, trauma, and unresolved emotional wounds often intersect. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, trauma-informed, and personalized. She incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and parts-informed approaches. She is also informed by Pia Mellody’s work on developmental trauma, codependency, and relational patterns and incorporates concepts from Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to help clients develop healthier boundaries, improve self-esteem, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.
As a Christian, Mary believes faith can be a powerful source of hope, strength, and healing. For clients who desire it, she welcomes the integration of Christian values, prayer, and Scripture into the counseling process. She recognizes the importance of faith and spiritual growth in recovery while respecting each individual’s personal beliefs, experiences, and spiritual journey.
Mary believes healing and recovery are possible regardless of where someone has been or what challenges they are facing. Her goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward.
Through Lantern Recovery Services, Mary offers personalized individual counseling for adults, with in-person appointments in Goodyear, Arizona, and secure telehealth services throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.
