About Max
Max Higa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado. He brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage depression, stress, anxiety, and issues related to LGBTQ concerns and trauma. He approaches therapy with respect for each person’s story and encourages small steps toward a more satisfying life.
Max listens first and asks questions to clarify what matters most to the client. He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation skills. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find the reasons to change.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the client. Max centers clients’ goals and works collaboratively to set achievable steps between meetings. He also pays attention to how attachment patterns and relationship dynamics shape current struggles, including shame, isolation, and difficulties with intimacy.
People come to him for help with grief, anger, addiction challenges, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports those dealing with sexual assault, dependent personality issues, and young adult transitions. Max frames therapy as a joint effort where the client’s voice guides the work.
He holds a Colorado LCSW license and has earlier credentials as a CSW. Max works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete the site matching process and schedule sessions based on his availability.
