Walter Higgs

Fifteen years of visionary leadership experience creating innovative programs that promote change among underserved youth and adults. Compassionate and progressive community leader with holistic, person-centered approach fueled by so many success stories supporting individuals who overcame drug and alcohol addictions, homelessness, and major social and economic barriers to pursue higher education. A licensed independent clinical social worker with high EQ, active listening skills, and who encourages collaboration through creating safety spaces for all voices to be heard when navigating difficult situations to bring mutually positive results.

I take on a solution-focused, harm-reduction stance in the therapeutic journey, while also utilizing my understanding of psychodynamic and system theories to get a better understanding of my patients. Further, it is important to me as a clinician to also create an environment that makes my patients feel seen and safe.

Patients will see that I am safe and that I am invested in their healing so that they could live and led the quality of life they are destined!
