Rick W. Hicks
About me
Usually, my clients seek therapy and counseling after struggling with challenges for days and sometimes months. Over time, these same challenges create maladaptive behavior patterns that must be corrected to facilitate change. However, my clients tend to dig in while inserting a host of new concerns. Albert Einstien wrote: "We can't solve today's problems with the mentality that created them" With this in mind, it is better to seek professional services and resources: Recognizing you're not alone in this healing process. I understand that therapy cannot solve all things of the past that challenge us, but clients can seek support, understanding, and better days. My passion is to help the world heal through community and humanity. I'm ready to help you define and rewrite your new beginning. This will allow you to sculpt the person you want to be.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is about information gathering to develop treatment goals and define the direction of the upcoming sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have extensive experience working with the military population and their families, with children and young adults, with relationship issues, and with addictions. I'm retired from the military and worked as a clinical supervisor training new therapists.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with young adults who are seeking change from dysfunctional behavior.
