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.

I am a LMHC therapist, public speaker community organizer, social and environmental activist and have been listening for decades. I received my formal education at University of North Florida as Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013. I also took a 9-month internship under Ed Wilder, in Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded Warrior for 8 months- the warriors talked; I listened. Did you go through trauma? Are you, right now, in a high stress situation? Do you keep losing your patience or your professionalism at the wrong moment and you don’t know why? Do you keep getting in your own way? I use Trauma Supportive Therapy to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses at all the wrong moments, in your present. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening- really hearing you. Reflect your depth of feelings back to you. Validate what are your unmet emotional needs. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will facilitate your thinking of your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself. I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasure/wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you. I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.

Does society or other people treat you badly because of who you are or what you experience? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma symptoms? I can help you. Together we will work toward decreasing your depression or anxiety or trauma symptoms. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT! You didn’t ask for your challenges and you don’t have to put yourself down or think badly about yourself. We can work together to increase your self-esteem, to help you learn healthy coping skills and assertive communication skills that will allow you to get your needs met in a healthy way. I know asking for help can be difficult and scary. But you deserve to live your best life and to do that, many people choose to seek out professional help—you are not alone. Working with me will be a huge step toward you reclaiming your life. We will first identify what YOU want to change and then determine what your goals are. At first you may experience doubt that you can make the changes you want to make but I assure you, I will be with you each step of the way until you are able to respond to life’s stressors rather than react to them. In my professional role I have worked with individuals (adults and children) from all walks of life, from different backgrounds and nationalities, different socioeconomic levels, and take pride in being able to offer counseling for depression, anxiety, domestic violence victims, trauma victims, and relationship issues. I offer telehealth counseling sessions and am a certified telehealth counselor. That means we can work together without you even needing to leave the comfort and safety of your home and still achieve the results you desire! I am a LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) and graduated from University of Connecticut School of Social Work. I had a method concentration in Mental health and substance abuse. I can say that regardless of what you are experiencing, I can help. Look forward to our journey of healing together!
