I can personally vouch for Grace Higa and her team as experts in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema and EMDR therapy. I have consulted Ms. Higa on a number of occasions on various psychology and mental health related matters. Ms. Higa routinely reviews the latest medical literature and attends regular training to stay current in her field. She is always knowledgeable, well-informed and compassionate. I can tell how deeply she cares about providing the best care for her clients. If you are looking for a therapist specializing in CBT, EMDR and/or Schema therapy, Grace and Balanced Mind are the right people, and I can't recommend them enough.

I feel fortunate to have worked with Grace during a difficult point in my life. She created a warm, grounded, and genuinely supportive space.

I had the pleasure of working with Grace Higa for two years and can enthusiastically recommend her as a therapist. Grace has the ability to maintain a warm, caring presence even during the most challenging situations. In a field that can be demanding, she consistently brings both compassion and professionalism to her work, never letting stress compromise the quality of care she provides. Grace's dedication to growing as a therapist is impressive - she consistently seeks out new training and stays current with the latest therapeutic approaches, while thoughtfully incorporating this knowledge into her practice. Yet it's her ability to combine this expertise with genuine warmth that makes her exceptional. She has a remarkable way of collaborating with everyone around her, fostering a positive environment even during busy or difficult times. Her commitment to learning, steady caring presence, and strong professional competence makes her an outstanding therapist. Anyone seeking therapy would be fortunate to work with Grace who so skillfully balances warmth, expertise, and continuous growth.

As a psychiatrist who has worked closely with Grace Higa, I can confidently say she is a skilled and compassionate therapist. Her expertise in trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy stands out, and I’ve seen firsthand how her approach helps clients navigate even the most complex challenges. Grace has an exceptional ability to create a safe and trusting environment for their clients. Her deep understanding of trauma recovery and mood disorders ensures clients feel heard and supported while making meaningful progress. She is also a wonderful collaborator, always open to interdisciplinary input to ensure the best outcomes for her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Grace to anyone seeking a highly skilled and dedicated therapist who genuinely cares about their clients' well-being.

As someone who has known Grace personally for several years, I feel uniquely qualified to speak to her exceptional qualities as a clinician. What makes Grace truly special is how she brings the same authenticity and depth that I know from our personal connection to her therapeutic relationships, while maintaining clear and appropriate boundaries. Grace relays that her clients consistently share how she helps them feel truly seen and understood, while guiding them toward meaningful change with gentle wisdom and practical insights. As someone with a person connection with Grace, I can attest that she provides all individuals in her life with the same attentive and sensitive care--she always helps me feel seen, understood, and appreciated. Grace has this remarkable ability to meet her friends and clients exactly where they are - whether they're navigating complex trauma, wrestling with anxiety, or working through life transitions. I've seen how she thoughtfully integrates various therapeutic approaches to match each client's unique needs, always grounded in deep empathy and clinical expertise. She is able be both inquisitive without being pushy or judgmental--a very rare trait. While our friendship means I can't see her clients in therapy myself, I never hesitate to refer people to her practice. She embodies what I believe therapy should be - a space of genuine connection, skilled guidance, and transformative growth. She has helped me personally deal with and heal from a traumatic romantic relationship, a complicated relationship/history with my mother, and navigate a traumatic breakup with a psychologist who was not respecting my boundaries. Anyone fortunate enough to work with her will find a therapist who brings both heart, clinical excellence, and professionalism to every session.
