  • Staff Therapist
  • Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
  • Particular Interests in Serving Veterans
  • Currently Telehealth only

I am Dr. Joy Higgins, a staff therapist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I firmly believe that everyone has a story to share and deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to do so.  Yet because so many have had their vulnerabilities used to hurt or exploit them, I appreciate the courage that it takes to make this first step. I foster a supportive atmosphere where I assist clients in attaining their therapeutic objectives by employing practical, results-oriented strategies. Think of me as your mental health personal trainer. I will provide you with tools and knowledge to attain your goals and become the best version of yourself. Clients of mine have had success with overcoming unwanted OCD behaviors, decreased frequency of panic attacks, reduced depressive symptoms, and decreased anxiety.

most frequently work with adults, couples, and military/veterans. With over 20 years of active duty military service in the Air Force, including 7 deployments and First Sergeant experience, I understand the unique challenges faced by military members and veterans. I understand the frustration and feelings of helplessness that arise when it seems like life is controlling you instead of you taking charge and shaping your own path. I also appreciate the importance of timely communication and respond to client emails promptly. Additionally, offer flexible appointment options by being available evenings, weekends, and holidays. Rest assured, I will be there every step of the way, guiding you towards transforming your life. Clients have reported being able to understand their thoughts and emotions better which has helped them with expectation management, controlling unwanted behaviors, and communicating more effectively.

Being a therapist isn’t a job to me. I do this because I have the ability to help, and I want to help. I am passionate about helping people accomplish their desired therapy goals to improve their lives. If you are interested in living a happier life, contact the office to set up an appointment and let’s see how I can help you achieve that goal!

 

Dr. Higgins  is able to bill with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna.
