Dr. Laurie Stickney

If you have been carrying anxiety, sleepless nights, or the weight of trauma and are ready to feel better without spending years in therapy, I would love to work with you. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD, Illinois Institute of Technology) with specialized training in evidence-based therapies for insomnia, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and a particular focus on Veterans' and Women's issues. My style is warm, affirming, and solution-oriented: I meet you where you are and we work together toward the life that matters most to you. If that sounds like the support you have been looking for, reach out. I am here.

My focus is always recovery, where I strive to work with clients to find a pathway back to living life guided by what is important to you. I bring a background of experience in Evidence Based Therapy, where the hope is that I can support clients to reclaim their life as quickly as possible. I don't want you to have to be in therapy for years before you start feeling better! Think of me as your guide on your mental health recovery journey!

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. You share what has been weighing on you, and I listen without rushing or judging. Together we will map out what you most want to change and talk through which evidence-based approaches might be the right fit for you. Most clients leave feeling heard and with a clearer sense of where we are headed. My hope is that you walk away from that first hour feeling more hopeful than when you arrived.
