Sarah Hicks
LCSW
Starting your mental health journey can feel scary. I believe finding the right therapist is a lot like finding a great friend—you won’t click with everyone you meet, but when you do, you just know! A great therapist brings out the absolute best in you, and that is exactly what I aim to do. Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m big on building authentic relationships, being direct, and creating a supportive space where you can thrive. I’d love to meet you.
About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience helping children, teenagers, and adults navigate life’s challenges, including trauma, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy engaging clients in a holistic, collaborative, and transparent process that builds an environment for lasting, sustainable growth.
Outside of the office, I have two large dogs who love joining me on hiking adventures, and I enjoy exploring creative and artistic hobbies. I also love spending time with my one-year-old nephew, who, of course, is slowly being gifted every book on boundaries and emotional expression by his favorite auntie!
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in deep respect for your unique experiences. I integrate several therapeutic methods to help you achieve meaningful and lasting change, always with the belief that you are the expert of your own life.
Whether working with adults or young people, I love using creative and playful methods. Play and creativity are how children communicate and engage with the world, and incorporating these modalities creates a much more productive, engaging, and impactful therapeutic experience for clients of all ages. Whether you are navigating relationship challenges, identity exploration, or emotional struggles, I strive to empower you to reach your goals with clarity and confidence.
