Denise Higgins
Licensed Professional Counselor
·LPC, MBA, ALPSAbout
I believe we were created to thrive emotionally, physically and spiritually. When one of these areas becomes vulnerable or we experience suffering, our whole self can feel the effects. Life has a way of bringing difficult times into all of our lives and we were created us with an innate need for community. The support of therapy is a way that individuals, families and couples can find refuge and direction to find healing, to once again live in the joy you are created for and to live with purpose. I have provided clinical mental health counseling for over 20 years and also christian discipleship and mentoring. Together, we will assess your current needs, your personal goals and the structure that works best for you - to find the healing you need and to begin again. I specialize in working with girls and women of all ages, couples and families. As my client, you will experience warm, unconditional acceptance in a calm and healing atmosphere. You are welcome to choose in-person or video sessions, and this can be flexible. I typically respond within 1-2 days of your request to begin services. It is truly a joy and honor to serve you. I look forward to working with you! **Specialties:** We will begin at your pace, helping you become familiar with the counseling process and talking together about the issues at hand. We will collaborate to create a plan that helps you to heal, regain your joy and get your life back again. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and continued and sustained improvement thereafter. **Credentials & Experience:** I have been a licensed professional counselor for over 16 years and have worked in the field for over 20 years. It has been an honor to work with individuals and families in many different areas of life. I also hold a certification in integrative holistic healing for mental health.
"One size does not fit all, when it comes to healing. I often use a combination of Person-Centered therapy to meet you where you are and care for your needs well and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and behavior. If you desire Christian counseling, we will also integrate sound, biblical principles during our time together."
