Getting to know Kimberly Higgins
Welcome! My name is Kimberly Higgins, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Board Certified Diplomate (BCD) based in Northern California, working with adult clients statewide via telehealth. I am currently licensed in California and Wisconsin. I hold a Doctor of Social Work degree from Arizona State University. My work focuses on adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or adjustment to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are my primary approaches to therapy. We'll work together to build a foundation that moves you toward wellness.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is holistic, treating both body and mind. Building self-compassion and self-awareness leads to changes in emotion regulation, new behaviors, and new thoughts. Behavioral activation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other approaches are woven into care based on your needs so we can work toward a new state of wellness.
My focus
Many people I work with manage symptoms from adjustment to life changes, depression, substance abuse, panic, and anxiety. Trauma is common, and often clients build coping skills and self-awareness before moving into trauma-focused therapy. I also work with adult children of aging parents and parents navigating changes in health, living conditions, and end-of-life decisions. Our work together will help you navigate the challenges you are experiencing.
My communication style
My goal is to create a warm and neutral space for you to share your experiences. We'll navigate life's challenges by creating awareness without judgment of right or wrong, good or bad. Through reflective listening, I'll work with you to move toward your goals. If you aren't ready to make changes, that's okay. We'll start where you are and create space to move forward when you're ready.
My journey to therapy
Through my life experiences, I have learned the importance of caring for myself and caring for others.
