"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from age eighteen through every adult decade. My style is interactive, collaborative, and non-hierarchical. My emphasis is on promoting psychological resilience by helping my clients expand their copings skills in the manner of resilient individuals. You do not have to be unusually healthy or come from a terrible past in order to benefit from the lessons of the resilient. I am equally comfortable and conversant with agony as much as ecstasy. If you are motivated to change through therapy, you are highly likely to be a lot happier with yourself and your life over time."
While studying at Harvard, Dr. Higgins began her research on psychological resilience. Fascinated terribly abused children who ought to be criminal or crazy- yet love, work, and expect well as adults, she began studying "what went right." Anticipating the current field of positive psychology, she published Resilient Adults: Overcoming a Cruel Past in 1994.
Highly experienced in both insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral therapies, Dr. Higgins also has a strong background in the neurosciences as well as lifespan developmental psychology. She employs the tools for expanding psychological resilience in her clinical practice. Dr. Higgins recently completed a manuscript, Resilient Women: Hope in Action, based on her clinical work.
