Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
Campbell Teen Family Therapy (CTFT) is built on the values of helping teens and families and giving back to the community. Having a team versus being a solo practitioner is important. One of the biggest contributing factors to the success of therapy is goodness of fit. In order for therapy to work the client needs to have the right person. Having a diverse staff means that patients have a choice about who they see and we do our best to match a client with the therapist who is just right for them!
At CTFT, our staff members are like minded and believe that supporting a teen sometimes takes a village. Having a team means that parents can have their needs met too, whether it is through parent coaching, individual therapy, couples therapy or family therapy, we can provide all of the support a parent might need when raising a family.
Often parents are heard saying “they wish there was a handbook for how to raise their kids.” We offer parent coaching using techniques from Love and Logic and Positive Discipline. We believe that parenting approaches are not a one size fits all and work with parents to find the approach that best meets their needs.
In family therapy, we go outside of the box in our treatment. We are wiling to work with any members of the family who are willing and able to come. We offer sessions with any combination of family members we believe should be there; parent and child, just parents, siblings only or all members present at once. We believe that any change made in any one member of the family will affect change in the entire system. .
We believe that therapy should be accessible to all. At CTFT we give back, by volunteering to provide pro bono therapy to foster kids through a program called “A Home Within.” So when you come to our practice, you are not just helping your family, but those families who can’t otherwise have access to mental health treatment.
CTFT was founded in 2011 and is owned by Ingrid Higgins, MFT

Are you experiencing communication challenges in your relationships? Challenges with sex or intimacy? Are you questioning or exploring gender and sexuality? I am here to support you and offer you tools and a place to process your current experience. I provide a safe space to explore who you are becoming and to discern old thought patterns that are no longer of service. I provide a healing space free of judgement and offer tools that you can immediately integrate into your current experience. I will collaborate with you and work with the intersections of your unique experience.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
<p>No matter who you are, or where you're coming from, you are the one who will determine where your story begins. I'll meet you where you're at and focus on your strengths. We'll collaborate to find and treat the root cause of your presenting concerns. <p><p>
Underpinning my work is my belief in "tribe" (family and community). Tribes come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, cultures, flavors and configurations (I was raised in a multilingual and multicultural home). Our tribes shape how we feel, how we think, how we relate to others, and how others relate to us (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes it's hard to know). <p><p>
I love this work and look forward to learning your story.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
My name is Sam, and I'm a psychoanalytic therapist who is passionate about helping adults and teens navigate life's complexities. Whether you're an adult seeking deeper understanding of yourself or a young person embarking on your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis and depth psychology, which delves into the unconscious mind. We'll work together to uncover patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. This can include chronic behaviors, relationship difficulties, or simply a feeling of being stuck.
The therapeutic process can be quirky and surprising, just like life itself! I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where humor and curiosity can be powerful tools for self-discovery. But at its core, my practice is built on empathy and a genuine desire to see you thrive.
