About Me
My name is Chrissy Highet, and I am a bilingual (Eng/Span) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. Through psychotherapy, I work to empower individuals, couples, and families with tools to free themselves from limiting beliefs and show up in the world with confidence and authenticity. Currently a mental health provider with Oakland Unified School District, as well as a parent and yoga teacher, I’m passionate about creating spaces of belonging and empowerment.
​
My work in the Bay Area includes direct practice with children, adolescents, and adults (virtually or in person, sometimes accompanied by my therapy dog, Revi) in addition to case management, advocacy, and clinical supervision. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships, supporting mind-body alignment and positivity, and fostering positive connections with self and others.
