Sarah Higbee
My name is Sarah Higbee, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working as a social worker for about 8 years in many different fields, with many different people. My passion for mental health drives my work. I specifically focus on advocacy and empowerment of those who feel most overlooked most by society or in their lives. Empathy and mindfulness are core values in my work, and I practice each principle that I utilize in therapy in my own life.
After experiencing significant trauma throughout her life, I worked with a client who was able to work in therapy weekly with myself to learn coping skills, process the incidences of trauma, and practice trust in therapy enough to eventually find employment that she enjoyed, set boundaries with individuals in her life who had inflicted previous trauma.
Sessions will include setting treatment goals, and spending time working towards them. In each session we will spend time processing and I will spent time educating on coping skills, and providing support and validation.
First sessions will include development of therapeutic rapport, and discussing what brings client to therapy at this time. If time allows, we will look to set some goals.
I am passionate about my work. I am passionate about helping people and mental health. Therapy brings those two passions together.
