About me

My name is "Ms. Tam" or "Ms. Hicks" and I am here to help. I am a licensed mental health professional and I will be able to partner with you on this journey. I am pleased you have selected me as your therapist. I have a strong client base for issues with anxiety, depression, and trauma. The first session dives deep into what will scratch the surface and open certain doors to rooms and places the client wants and needs to explore; or not. I recommend minimum 3 sessions to build upon your toolbox to help manage your symptoms.

I have learned that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me. I am a whole vibe professionally speaking. Therapy is a journey one in which the client is in the drivers seat and the therapist is in the passenger seat, shotgun!

The client that wants to get to the root of the pain, hurt, awkwardness, craziness, sadness, the list goes on is a great match with Ms. Tam. The client that also pulls from hope, spirit, experience, the unknown is a match with me.

Its helpful for the client to remain open throughout at least 3-6 sessions after the first assessment/session in order to fully rate symptom change.

If you are looking for a diverse and inclusive minded therapist, with years of experience in life, education, social services, and mental health services consider myself. I will try to help you. All counseling sessions will be treated with strict confidentiality and is protected by state and federal laws.

I love Miss Tam, she is to the point which I appreciate and gives different perspectives which help you think of different ways to tackle whatever you’re going through. My favorite thing about her is that she does not make me feel like a victim and gives honest feedback. She is very funny and kind as well, my last phone session flew by and I didn’t even know until she let me know the time was up!

Ms. Tam is great and has a beautiful, approachable energy! I think she cares a lot and has a good sense of humor.

I’ve only had one session, but I felt I could open up & that has not always been the case when I’ve been in in-person therapy previously.

She’s an absolute legend. Has helped me find a good balance in myself and allowed me to have good communication with her. Super great listener, really approachable, and respectful in all forms.
