As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Social Work from Florida State University, I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. My work focuses on guiding clients through issues like depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and building confidence to set appropriate boundaries in life. I specialize in helping young to middle-aged adults and students build resilience and gain new perspectives in today’s ever-changing world. I also offer expertise in parenting, communication, conflict resolution, and adjustment disorders. I use evidence-based practices and a range of therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client. Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, from children to seniors, and have led groups on topics like anger management, coping skills, anxiety, self-esteem, and life skills. My approach integrates Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-based, and Person-centered techniques, all aimed at creating lasting, positive change. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to live fulfilling, resilient lives. Whether you're facing relationship struggles, dealing with stress, lacking boundaries, or feeling uncertain about your next steps, I’m here to help you find the tools and support you need to move forward with confidence.

“During these times, it may be hard for you to see all the little things we do to avoid intimacy. Instead of clinginess, try support. Instead of agonizing, try releasing. Self-pity is just sadness in the pejorative.”- Renata Adler. As an experienced clinician with almost twenty years of promoting “the bigger picture,” I understand the inevitable strains of societal pressures and mounting anxieties that precipitate today’s emotional supply and demand. And moreover, how our immediate environments (both personal and professional), less than secure attachments, and unresolved traumas tend to strip us of our inherent worth and propagate low self-esteem. Our pasts can slowly rob us from our intrinsic worth and freedoms if we aren’t careful. Let’s remain vigilant to our reactionary minds that sometimes cause us to flail in unnecessary despair. I have applied psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, CBT, strength-based, inner child workings, and trauma focused therapies within acute psychiatric and multiple behavioral health settings for most of all my career. Since graduating with my Bachelors Degree in 2006, then Masters Degree in 2010 and eventually gaining licensure as a Clinical Social Worker in 2014, I also have learned and grown from the beautifully destructive cycles of life. I respect the individual in relation to their environment and offer my utmost sincerity and earnest attempts at a full understanding of the person as a whole being, from start to never finish. I utilize humor and satire as a form of stress relief. I will comfortably guide you to embrace the normality of your dysfunctions while highlighting the uniqueness of life, so you can begin to feel a little less consumed. I am an attentive listener with a tender spot for all of humankind. I truly hope I am granted the privilege of working with you.

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.
