Brenda Ticknor, LPC — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Brenda!

I have been practicing for two decades. I enjoy working with people to help them achieve their goals and live their lives to the fullest.

My focus

My focus in therapy is meeting the needs and goals of the client. Therapy is driven by the client.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach to therapy as this helps me adapt my approach to meet your individual needs.

My communication style

I communicate openly and honestly.

My journey to mental healthcare

Compassion and a need to help alleviate mental health pain began with my father, who suffered from PTSD as a result of serving in Vietnam. The struggles he faced daily are my motivator.

My goals for you

In therapy, I work to help identify goals and reduce barriers to meeting them.

Our first session

The first session with a new therapist can be stressful and create anxiety. The first session is when I get to know my client and they get to know me.

I identify as...

Female
Caucasian or White
Christian
