Edna Hickson

Hi there, I'm Edna!

I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges related to relationships, emotional regulation, and personal growth. My approach is client-centered and tailored to support your unique goals, empowering you to build resilience and achieve meaningful change.

My focus

I primarily work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My focus includes helping clients manage mood disorders, process life transitions, and address issues from past abuse or neglect. I use a strengths-based and person-centered approach to support your healing and resilience.

My approach

My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where each session serves as a step toward resilience, healing, and meaningful growth. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, creating a safe and supportive space for you to share openly. I prioritize active listening and collaboration, ensuring you feel heard and valued in every session. Working with me feels like having a compassionate ally who helps you navigate challenges at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was fueled by a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and uncover their inner strength. What drives me is seeing clients grow, heal, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. Being a part of their transformative journey is both an honor and a privilege that motivates me every day.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and client-centered process, tailoring it to each individual's unique needs and circumstances. Together, we identify meaningful and achievable goals that align with your values and desired outcomes. I provide ongoing support and adjustments as needed to maintain momentum and celebrate progress.

Our first session

During the first session, you can expect a welcoming environment where we'll begin building a therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to understand your history, strengths, and challenges while explaining my approach and answering your questions.
