My name is Keri Hicks and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) living in Los Angeles. I'm licensed in California and New York and have worked in schools, in homes, in non-profits, and in private practice. As a therapist and coach, I want to partner with you to identify what is causing distress and help you feel better.
My approach
I bring a humanistic and strengths-based approach to our work together and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral skills in my practice.
My focus
I specialize in parenting, intimate partner violence and sexual assault, bipolar, psychotic disorders, generalized depression and anxiety, and managing co-occurring medical conditions. I have worked extensively with parents, helping them to manage conflict, build skills, and enjoy their children. My practice has also served many in the LGBTQ community.
My communication style
Connecting to therapy can feel like a risk; it's hard to know if a therapist will feel like the right fit. I invite you to reach out and try. We'll always start from a place of comfort and work together to create positive change.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have provided clinical care in many settings throughout my career, giving me the opportunity to meet individuals at many stages of their healing process. Over the years I've worked to create broad programs to deliver care and worked to help strengthen ways that people can access the care they need. Now I focus on one person at a time and bring my experience and curiosity to each unique therapeutic relationship.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative process. It is my job to listen closely to the things you want to change and help you to identify meaningful, and achievable, goals for yourself.
My first session with you
The first session is one in which we'll get to introduce ourselves and you'll have a chance to ask questions and determine if my style is a good fit for your needs. I will try to understand what's on your mind right now, and assess for any immediate needs. And, if you'd like, we'll make a plan for our future time together.
