Tina J Higgins

My work is trauma-sensitive, nonjudgmental, and respectful of people. I believe you are the expert in your own life so will be working to help you understand and increase your awareness of what your goals are and how you would like to move toward those goals. We will explore the many factors that make you you and those which have contributed to the complex situation you are experiencing. An increased awareness of how stressors affect mammals will decrease self-blame and allow you to begin healing. The human body reflects a human's physical response to stressors, large and small, continuing or not. Increasing your awareness of how a body works under stress, teaching certain skills to reduce those symptoms and treating the trauma that underlies it all is my passion. When you are ready, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprossessing (EMDR) is utilized to help process material from your life. Resource building, relaxation techniques, abdominal breathing, and discussion about how each helps is frequent in session. Listening to you and hearing what you have to say is my strength.
