Dr. Andrew Higgins, PhD, LMFT

About Me

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, and relationship concerns, with a particular focus on serving veterans, first responders, and adults impacted by high-stress experiences. My approach is direct, collaborative, and compassionate. I use EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help clients process difficult experiences, reduce distress, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater resilience and purpose.

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist with specialized training and clinical experience treating trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions, with a particular focus on veterans and first responders.
