(she/her)
I'm Dalaise Hickey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, based in Connecticut. I obtained my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2008 and have over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families. Prior to moving to Connecticut, I worked in New York City as a social worker representing youth and families involved in the criminal justice and child welfare systems. I am deeply committed to helping empower my clients and believe in taking an individualistic approach to helping you achieve your goals.
During our first session, we will meet to help learn more about the challenges you are facing and get to know you a bit more as well as make sure I am a good fit for you. This is a great time to ask questions and share more about your history. From there, we will identify goals you would like to work on.
My ability to think outside the box when helping clients achieve their goals. I don't believe in a one size fits all approach and use a variety of therapeutic modalities while working together including cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.
I primarily work with individuals aged 17 and older . While I welcome all clients, my specialization is in supporting women, I work with all clients, particularly in navigating anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of my practice, as it helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier, more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. By working collaboratively, we focus on practical strategies to address specific issues.
