My primary work is with tweens, teens, and adults. And my ideal client is motivated and ready for transformative change.

Having worked in the mental health profession for over 25 years, I am a licensed mental health professional and owner of the Hicks Group Wellness Center. My primary work is with individuals suffering from domestic violence, traumas, anxiety, and depression. I am particular about whom I take as a client; my ideal client is ready for transformative change and motivated to do the therapeutic work that comes with counseling. I want to help those suffering from low self-esteem, anxiety, PTSD, depression, stressors, and unhealthy relationships, including domestic violence. I cater to individuals suffering from fibroids, cancers, lupus, and HIV/AIDS. I work with both civilians and the military. I am also Kink-friendly. Using a combination of cognitive behavior therapy and individual Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I have a multi-dimensional approach; "I want my patients to learn to live in peace." My method uses various counseling techniques that fit my client's needs. I challenge my patients and support them in their life's journey. If you're ready, please call.
