Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or struggling to bounce back from a situation that you can’t seem to get past? Are you not feeling like yourself? Have others mentioned you seem different lately?

As your therapist, together you and I will work to find the way out that supports you in creating and maintaining a healthy, happy life. Using both traditional psychotherapy as well as alternative and complementary therapies, we'll find what works for you to get you where you want to be.

I help individuals and couples with stress, anxiety, depression, infidelity, relationship or parenting issues, life transitions, communication skills, PMS symptoms, grief,and personal growth. I bring years of life and counseling experience to the therapy process - and I connect with my clients on a personal level, while maintaining a professional therapeutic relationship. I also teach meditation and mindfulness skills. Please read the blog section of my website to see if I am the type of therapist with whom you can connect.

Therapy takes Strength and Courage and I am here to help you take the first step. Hi, my name is Stephanie Hickman and I have a huge passion for empowering others and teaching them vital skills to navigate through life successfully. I offer evidence Based treatment services to help you learn how to manage the stressors of everyday life, relationships, and difficult situations. I am an Independently Licensed Social Worker with 13 years of experience. I pride myself in meeting people where they are and helping them explore what treatment modality is the best fit for them.

The first step in any change is realizing that you want or need a change in the first place. As a therapist, I utilize a strength-based approach to allow clients to learn and hone in on the skills they already possess in order to make the changes they desire in their lives. In our sessions, I will act like a mirror, helping you to gain insight, discover patterns, and learn about the obstacles that are in the way of your happiness. I am committed to helping my clients discover their goals and create a path to personal growth.

Hello! I am a licensed school counselor with the Macks Psychology Group where I provide small group counseling services to children and adolescents for ages 9-10, 11-13, and 14-18. Groups are an effective form of solution-focused mental health support that address social skills, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress management, peer relationships, life transitions, and more. Guidance from the group leader, along with support and feedback from group members, offers an excellent and rewarding opportunity for learning and growth that helps to normalize one's own challenges in life and put them into perspective.

Is constant fighting destroying your marriage? Are you and your partner drifting apart? Patterns of discord and emotional detachment contribute to the demise of once healthy relationships, but YOURS doesn't have to continue on this destructive path. Counseling can help you repair damage done and avoid pitfalls which might otherwise doom your relationship. Whether you attend as a couple or by yourself, you'll learn valuable skills to improve communication, create trust and develop a more collaborative approach to resolving conflict. You can rebuild your underlying friendship, but it's not going to happen without you taking action.

Are you stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you? Or maybe can’t stop feeling distressed or emotional? No one is immune from life’s difficulties! Trying to navigate these things alone can be daunting and can cause us to sweep intense feelings and traumas under the rug, only to have them explode later. I offer a kind, nonjudgmental space to help folks talk things out so they can lift the fog and find clarity to manage difficult situations and feelings. I specialize in helping those experiencing anxiety, difficult situations or transitions in their lives, as well as those with ongoing mental health diagnoses.

Everyone needs a safe place where they can process a problem or work through a difficult life transition. Whether you are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, or wounds from your past, we can work together to bring healing to your life. It's hard work and sometimes scary to talk about painful issues, but the rewards of working through them include greater confidence in oneself, more fulfilling relationships, and joy.

At the Macks Psychology Group (MPG), we take pride in offering a wide range of psychological and speech-language testing and therapy services, and delivering outstanding care to meet the needs of the individuals and families with whom we work. Our providers are highly qualified, with backgrounds from hospitals, school districts, private practice, and community health. MPG works with nearly all ages from toddler through late adulthood. We look forward to working with you or your family.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Are you having a difficult time getting past that thing that happened? Are you just not feeling like yourself? Maybe others are concerned about you? Whether you are looking for someone safe and non-judgmental to talk to, or you are looking for skills and tools to help you move forward, we can work together to get you where you want to be. Let’s start this journey to a better quality of life and finding a happier, healthier you.

Since each of our clients is unique, we do not take a cookie-cutter approach to counseling. Our clinicians will propose a care plan after an appropriate assessment. This care plan will be based on the client’s reasons for seeking help while incorporating their personal goals and strengths.

Are you having trouble just getting through the day? Does life feel overwhelming? I am here to help! I work with children, adolescents, adults and families going through transitions or struggling in daily life. My goal is to tailor my approach to your learning style and strengths as we work together to identify and eliminate barriers to your goals. I work with a variety of issues, including Depression, PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Dysregulation, AD/HD, Adjustment Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I've been providing individual, couples and group psychotherapy for over 30 years. My clients are usually highly successful in their careers but have unsuccessful personal relationships. Successful counseling focuses on helping people develop more fulfilling and substantial interpersonal connections. My clients build richer and more emotionally balanced lives. Appreciating our inherited patterns, false beliefs about ourselves and valuing the integration of thoughts and feelings--these elements create the freedom to make new, more effective and satisfying life choices.

My approach is to view problems or issues from a systemic perspective. That means I am curious about our key relationships past and present, the roles we play, the rules we follow, and where our identity and value systems come from. My passion is to make sense of the ways our internal experiences (relationship with self) and our external experiences (relationships with others) collide and inform one another. I strive to help people develop wholeness of self through unpacking anything that is keeping them stuck.

It is hard to navigate feelings of sadness, loneliness, anxiety, grief, despair and frustation in life. These feelings may be the result of a transition, unexpected changes, loss, stress and juggling multiple responsibilities. You would like to improve your sense of self-esteem, your ability to express what you need, your ability to challenge irrational beliefs, and acquire coping and resilient skills that will allow you to recover from difficult situations. Through counseling you will not only be able to feel better but you will be also able to recognize and embrace your strengths. I will be your partner in this journey.

I view behavioral health as a collaborative process from goal setting to conquering goals. We all have different ways we relate to society and the impact it has on us. No one path is the same and with everyone, there are obstacles we have to overcome. I strive to meet each individual where they are emotionally, physically and mentally which provides the individual to share their vulnerabilities in a brave and safe space. I focus on strength-based and solution-focused therapy in order for the individual to be motivated for the next life transformation.

If you are struggling with difficulties or want to talk through some issues to enhance your life, please contact me at one of my practices, as described in the last paragraph. I assist clients with diagnosable disorders, such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression or difficult relationships in discovering new possibilities. I also assist individuals without diagnosable disorders in pursuit of clarity and reaching goals. In a confidential, supportive professional relationship, you can come to understand your patterns, recognize your wisdom and strengths and learn to be more effective at reaching your goals. I integrate cognitive/dialectical strategies with a relational, mindfulness-based approach.

I am committed to assisting clients with increasing interpersonal relationship skills, coping skills, reduction of depression, anxiety, and stigma related issues.

I believe in the holistic treatment of the individual connecting the mind, body, and spirit. It is important to draw upon and balance all aspects of ourselves when promoting and maintaining health and well being. When we experience dis-ease, there are often one or more aspects of ourselves to which we are not attending. Each of us holds the answers to all of our questions. Yet, there are times we need assistance in uncovering these answers. I provide a confidential, safe, and supportive environment in which to explore, learn, and gain inner wisdom.

The therapeutic relationship is a powerful tool, and I help my clients implement it effectively as they strive for change. I use a creative, eclectic, person-centered approach that is individually tailored to each client. Together, we build honest, open, and easy relationships to encourage exploration, reflection, and growth in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to provide insightful and empowering strategies that foster confidence and independence.
