About Us

Compassionate Care Rooted in Excellence

Higher Heightz is a dynamic team of professionals committed to supporting youth through a holistic, evidence-based approach. By combining school-wide prevention, peer support, family engagement, and individualized treatment, we work to reduce the impact of substance use disorders while promoting mental, emotional, and academic growth.

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)
Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA)
Botvin LifeSkills Training

We believe in creative, interactive engagement that encourages meaningful participation and lasting impact.

Our Services

Individual therapy

We offer personalized one-on-one therapy in a safe, confidential setting where students and survivors can explore their challenges and begin the process of healing. Our licensed and certified counselors use trauma-informed approaches to help individuals build resilience, manage stress, and develop healthy coping strategies. Therapy sessions focus on empowering clients to reclaim their lives, foster self-confidence, and move forward with hope.

Academic Intervention Programs in Connecticut

School-Based Prevention & Intervention

Our school-based programs are designed to educate and support students in making healthy, positive choices. Through classroom workshops, peer support initiatives, and individualized counseling, we address issues such as substance use, stress management, and emotional wellness. These services not only reduce risky behaviors but also strengthen protective factors, helping students succeed both academically and socially. By embedding our specialists in schools, we ensure early intervention and consistent support.

Trauma Recovery Psycho-Educational Groups

For students and families who have experienced trauma, our psycho-educational groups provide a structured, supportive space for healing. Participants learn practical skills to manage emotions, process difficult experiences, and rebuild resilience. Led by experienced facilitators, these groups combine education with peer support, allowing participants to feel less isolated while gaining valuable tools for emotional recovery and long-term stability.

Professional Development for Educators in Connecticut

Professional Development & Informational Workshops

We equip educators, school staff, and parents with the knowledge and skills they need to support youth effectively. Our counselor-led workshops cover topics such as recognizing early signs of substance use, understanding co-occurring disorders, and applying effective communication strategies. Parent workshops provide tools to strengthen family connections and improve parenting skills. These trainings are critical for early identification and intervention, helping to create a network of support around each student.

Restorative Practices Training in Connecticut

Basic Restorative Practices Training

Restorative justice emphasizes accountability, healing, and repairing relationships. Our Basic Restorative Practices Training provides hands-on strategies to foster open dialogue and build stronger, healthier communities. Participants learn to use affective questions to encourage reflection and practice facilitating restorative circles that promote problem-solving and reconciliation. Whether you’re an educator, community leader, or service provider, this training offers practical tools to reduce conflict, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
