Brandi High, LAC

Psychotherapist
NJ
The provider is a "Associate Counselor" with license number 37AC00866800, practicing under the supervision of Hebah Khalifa. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. My approach is rooted in humanistic and person-centered principles, meaning I prioritize building a strong, collaborative relationship where you feel safe exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma-related concerns. I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies with a strength-based perspective to help you better understand patterns that may be holding you back and to develop practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My background in clinical mental health counseling, along with experience in school counseling and parent coaching, allows me to approach each client with both empathy and structure. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors your unique identity and lived experience. Therapy is not about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you access the resilience and clarity that are already within you. My goal is to support you in building insight, confidence, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if it’s your first time. In our work together, you can expect a space that is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect. I will meet you where you are, while also gently challenging you when growth requires it. My style is both supportive and practical. I listen closely and seek to understand your experiences, but I also help you identify patterns, set goals, and develop tools you can use outside of sessions. Therapy with me is not just about talking, it is about building insight and learning strategies that create real change in your daily life. In our first session, we will explore what brings you in, what you hope to gain from therapy, and any questions or concerns you may have. Together, we will clarify goals and determine a pace that feels both safe and productive. I approach each client with cultural sensitivity and a trauma-informed lens, recognizing that your background and lived experiences matter. Progress looks different for everyone, and we will work at a pace that honors your needs while encouraging forward movement. Above all, you can expect honesty, consistency, and a commitment to your growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work typically begins with an initial assessment session where I take time to understand your concerns, history, current stressors, and goals for therapy. This first meeting is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine whether the therapeutic fit feels right. From there, we collaboratively identify clear, meaningful goals. Ongoing sessions are structured yet flexible. We may begin by checking in on recent experiences or challenges, then focus on a specific theme, pattern, or goal. I often integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and build practical skills. At the same time, I make space for deeper exploration of emotions, relationships, and past experiences when relevant. Depending on your needs, we may incorporate skill-building exercises, reflection, goal-setting, and occasional between-session practices to reinforce progress. I approach treatment from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, ensuring that the pace and direction of therapy feel both supportive and purposeful. Throughout the process, we regularly revisit your goals and adjust our work as needed. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience; it evolves as you grow.
