Liz Higgins, LMFT-S, DARTT
Helping high-achieving individuals who are ready to move beyond performance-based living into authentic relationships and inner peace.
Is this you?
You’re capable. Driven. Deeply responsible. The kind of person others rely on.
You may be an entrepreneur, leader, parent, creative, founder, or visionary- someone who can hold a lot, build a lot, lead a lot, and keep moving even when you’re internally exhausted.
From the outside, you may look successful, grounded, or be admired for your “high-functioning” abilities. But inside, you feel anxious, untethered, disconnected from yourself, and unable to actually rest. You may feel like you’re constantly scanning for what needs to be fixed, managed, improved, or held together.
Your relationships may feel strained, distant, reactive, or lonely. Your body may carry anxiety even when your mind knows you’re “fine.”
This work is for people who are ready to stop living from survival, over-functioning, and old relational patterns and begin building a life from inner steadiness, self-trust, authentic connection, and peace.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor, DARTT trained therapist (Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist), and business owner, I bring years of experience walking with high-capacity individuals, entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders through the deeper work beneath anxiety, burnout, relational disconnection, and identity loss.
I like to think of my role with you as co-traveler and guide, more than expert…because truly, you are the expert of your own life.
Using the Healing Our Core Issues model, attachment-focused work, trauma-informed care, and relational modalities I’ve gained over the last decade, I help clients uncover the unconscious patterns formed through early experience: the patterns that shape how they relate to themselves, their bodies, their work, their families, and the people they love.
This is not about becoming less ambitious, less capable, or less visionary.
It’s about no longer abandoning yourself in the process.
If you’re ready to move beyond performing, proving, managing, and pushing and into a life marked by connection, emotional freedom, self-trust, and inner peace- I’d be honored to walk with you!
“Change is inevitable; growth is optional.”
Maybe you’ve spent much of your life being the strong one, the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the achiever, the helper, the one who could read the room and perform well under pressure. You learned how to be impressive, dependable, and productive (many worthwhile skills)- but not necessarily how to feel safe, known, emotionally connected, or guided by your true Self.
This is often the hidden cost of performance-based living.
You keep reaching the next milestone, building the next thing, serving the next person, and solving the next problem, but the peace, connection, and fulfillment you hoped would come with success still feel just out of reach. I remember reaching a point in my own life where I decided those things just couldn’t exist together (how wrong was I!).
Join me on The Millennial Life Podcast as I explore the complex terrain of modern relationships through the lens of attachment science, trauma healing, and authentic connection. Each episode offers practical insights that will help you understand your own patterns and build healthier relationships.
Check out some of my favorite episodes:
In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Rick Butts, co-founder of the Healing Our Core Issues Institute (HOCII), for a transformative discussion on relational healing, personal growth, and the fundamentals of emotional wellness.
We discuss practical tools rooted in mindfulness and attachment theory that can fundamentally shift how you relate to yourself and others. Listen in!
In this episode, I chat with Katie Hevia, LMFT Associate & LPC Associate, about how couples can navigate the massive transitions that come with marriage, commitment, and building a family. From setting healthy boundaries with in-laws to grieving changes in family traditions, Katie shares compassionate, practical insights for staying connected as a couple while honoring extended family ties.
I had the privilege of sitting down with therapist Michael Ashenfelter, LPC-S, to explore the emotional lives of men, the challenges of modern relationships, and how Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples repair and reconnect.
