Are you seeking change? What would your life look like if your magic wand was working? What is in the way of living the most effective life possible? Is it your belief system, your behavior? Is it a situation, a relationship or an unmet need? Building a strong relationship with yourself is the foundation for effective living. Self esteem is a result of knowing yourself, growing yourself and accepting your true self. It requires honesty, willingness and discomfort. The most effective way to change someone else's behavior is to change your own. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Therapy can be a daunting task. It is my goal to help you address the issues you are seeking help for and give you real life techniques to use in your therapeutic process. I tend toward cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapies but recognize that everyone is unique and may require different approaches. I have significant experience working with emotionally/behaviorally disturbed children, abused children/adolescents and adult survivors of trauma. I tend to view therapy as a process. I believe it is important to meet people where they are so they can fully embrace the changes they seek to make.

Therapy is not one size fits all. My goal for you as the client is to create a safe and affirming space where you can be yourself. Feeling safe in the therapy room is essential to do the hard work of healing and growing from things that have happened to us in life. Therapy should be a collaboration between the client and therapist in order to help you in the best possible way. I strive to create a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive space for you.

Hello, my name is Chelsea Hicks, and I have been a therapist for over a decade. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is a huge component of therapy being effective. Clients that feel they are successful with me are focused on change and ready to work. The only one you can control is yourself. "Gray rock" is a therapy technique that allows us to have boundaries with people even if they refuse to comply. Often it seems like there are a lot of people, opinions, and behaviors impacting our lives, but the reality is we do CHOOSE how we feel and respond to them.

Trauma leaves us feeling stuck in a loop of stress, doubt, fear, & shame. You may be fed up with reliving unpleasant memories & experiencing the world disconnected, looking out from behind the veil of trauma. Perhaps you don’t even remember a time when this was not your reality - but one thing is certain: you deserve some relief. You’re ready to let go of fear & face the world with confidence. Most of all, you are ready to regain self-worth and emotionally heal.
