Hello there. I'm Alan Hickey, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2015 with a Master of Arts degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy.
There's an important connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They influence one another in many ways, though they are often in ways that may be confusing - at first - to the person living them. By talking about them, we can together gain a deeper understanding of how they are connected for you, then equip you with new ways of interrupting uncomfortable patterns of thinking, feeling, or interacting.
Whether it be assisting a person in learning how to continue finding the joy in life after the loss of a loved one, moving forward when feeling disconnected from oneself, rebuilding ruptured connections with others, or overcoming other overwhelming ordeals, I look forward to the opportunity to help you.

Alan was a great therapist, and I wish our scheduled could have aligned better so I could continue working with him. He made it feel very safe to share anything, gave thoughtful and helpful responses, and provided some great perspectives. I really enjoyed working with him, and always felt I was making progress after our sessions.
