Samantha Higgins

Hello there! I am the owner of Mind Heart Spirit Counseling Services, LLC and I am so happy you’re here! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for many years, and I have an array of experience working with individuals, couples, and families across various settings. I believe in assisting others to find and use their voice to fully express the fullness of who they are.

I am dedicated to helping others establish/re-establish their identity, and strengthen their self-awareness. My approach to healing is specific to every person, incorporating varying therapeutic methods. Throughout our course of treatment, I will assist with identifying the root causes of your struggles, and address past and/or recent traumas that may be affecting your day-to-day functioning. We will explore and address childhood and family wounds that likely contribute to your overall experiences as an adult. I am also trained in Family Constellations which provide experiential insight into intergenerational patterns and traumas from your family that have been impacting your life and functioning.

I would like to congratulate you in advance for taking the time to invest in yourself and/or your family/relationship(s)! I am looking forward to partnering with you on your healing journey toward wholeness in mind, heart, and spirit!

In addition to direct therapy services, I am also skilled and credentialed to provide clinical supervision to associate level clinicians, clinical mental health consultation services, as well as mental health workshops to companies, schools, community agencies, churches, and other community programs/facilities that may benefit or be in need of such support/services.  I believe that partnering to heal and educate our community is the key to lasting impact and to creating a healthy thriving society.  I also host and facilitate Family Constellations to the community for those that would like to further explore their family systems and identify the ancestral burdens that have been preventing progress in work, relationships and other areas of life.
