LPC, 18 years of experience
My name is Tammy Hicks. I am a licensed Professional Counselor and have been fully licensed since 2009. I am married with 13 y/o twins (B/G). I love spending time with my family, friends, and dogs. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and watching shows. I have experience working with different populations in several different environments. I have experience working with, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more. I am trained in CBT but will always tailor sessions towards what is best for the client.
In the first session I will introduce myself and let you know what to expect in the sessions. We will go over what brought you to therapy, some background about you, and your goals.
I am a parent, so I feel that I have the ability to empathize with parents and children at this point in my life. I also have worked with a variety of types of people and difficulties. I try to meet the client where they are. I try to connect with a client, no matter the age, and make sure they feel as comfortable as they can.
I enjoy working with those that experience anxiety and depression difficulties. I also have a lot of experience working with those that are having relationship issues (family and intimate). I enjoy working with adults and teenagers. I have a lot of experience right now, firsthand, dealing with middle school kids.
I have been trained in CBT for many years. I like to use CBT when applicable. It can be very useful for those with anxiety.
