Dia Hicks

My clients (MO & FL) are individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or struggling with challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief, stress, or major life transitions. Many come to therapy seeking a safe and supportive space where they can feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients explore their experiences, build healthy coping skills, process difficult emotions, and develop greater self-awareness and confidence.

The focus of my practice is dedicated to finding resolution to internal/external conflicts, building healthy relationships, learning healthy coping skills and guidance toward a happy, healthy, more productive lifestyle for all my clients. I use an integrative, client-centered approach tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. My practice incorporates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Behavioral Activation. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns, process difficult experiences & develop healthier coping strategies.

Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy can provide a safe space to feel heard, supported, and understood. Healing takes time, and taking the first step is a meaningful act of selfishness.

Starting therapy can feel exciting, uncomfortable, or even a little intimidating- and that's completely normal. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself and begin exploring what brought you to therapy.

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know one another and discussing what you're currently experiencing. We'll talk about your concerns, what you'd like to work on , and what you hope to gain from therapy.
