Gena Hicks
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
I am an LPCC with a focus on trauma, gender-related issues, anxiety, and depression.
Gena is a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio and received her Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University. Theoretical Approach & Philosophies of Counseling: I believe that everyone is capable of uncovering and shifting self-defeating thoughts while promoting resilience in their everyday lives no matter the circumstances. Counseling is not one-size-fits-all, so together we will discover your strengths and learn new coping skills that work for you. I strive to create a safe, comforting, and warm environment where my clients can explore their concerns without the distractions of the world. Humor is something to expect with me as well! I specialize in working with late teens and emerging adults and have spent the bulk of my career doing trauma work as well as treating the symptoms related to complex trauma. I am certified in EMDR through EMDRIA.
