Welcome.  My name is Carissa Higgins.  I am a child & family psychiatric nurse practitioner.  I have been an RN since 1997 and a psychiatric NP since 2011.  I have training in hypnosis, EMDR, yoga and meditation.  I am also certified in KAP (Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy) via an AANC approved program.

 

I have a passion for helping individuals explore root causes of their symptoms and teaching holistic methods of addressing those root causes to help others live a healthier, happier and conscious focused life.  

 

I have been practicing yoga & meditation since 2001.  The mindfulness and healing skills I have learned through this practice, combined with my education, training and experience as an registered nurse & nurse practitioner have motivated me to to focus on teaching others how to achieve wellness from the inside out.  

 

Symptoms are the results or EFFECTS of some source or CAUSE.  Using symptoms as directional sign posts rather than irritations that need to be medicated away, you can follow the road to the root cause of the problem itself and heal it.  This journey can help develop greater self awareness that can empower personal responsibility for healing.  As service to others is the highest purpose we can achieve, I am deeply grateful and look forward to serving you on your journey in any way I can.
