Doug Hickey
Hello, I am Doug Hickey. I am passionate about providing a supportive, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment to hold space for clients so they can navigate life challenges. I incorporate mindfulness-based, holistic therapy and am passionate about functional, root-cause approaches. Some areas of interest include depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem issues, life purpose, and relationship and marital issues.I believe that therapy is an investment in oneself, and I love seeing clients thrive and grow as they process existing struggles, heal past wounds, learn new skills, and develop their already existing strengths.
First session
The first session is an intake session where you will be given an opportunity to share your story with me and help me to understand why you are in search of counseling and what your expectations are of me. Also, I will explain who I am and what I do while gathering important information for the intake. Ideally, the first session is used primarily for gathering information.
Strengths
I have the unique ability to read clients and connect with them in their difficulties in an effort to provide good quality based solutions therapy. I have seen many of life's difficulties and I can resonate with those difficulties that you may be facing. With lots of life experience and research backed tools and skills I am always honored when a patient allows me to sit with them in thier difficulties.
Ideal clients
I foster a warm and encouraging atmosphere so that patient feels safe to delve into those things that they'd like to address. I do well with people who are willing to take accountability for their lives and are willing to face their truths and make accommodations for themselves and others so that we can partner together to find viable solutions to life's difficulties.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help change ones perception of a given situation which changes ones patterns, therefore changing ones behaviors. If you want to make changes in your life, then the process of change begins with ones thinking. As a person thinks, so are they.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use this along side Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the two are considered sister skllls and work well together
