SUPPORTING YOUR JOURNEY
Meet Jenay
Jenay Hicks, MS , LPC, NCC
As a client-centered therapist, I believe in the human capacity to "self-actualize." In psychology, self-actualization is achieved when you're able to reach your full potential. I have learned that we are more alike than different in this work. Most people want to feel seen, heard, loved, valued, protected, and connected. Where one is missing, there is usually an amplification in anxiety. I am in the empathy business. I use connection and evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients clarify their "why" and navigate a path to deeper fulfillment—professionally and personally. I'm here to help you identify greater pathways to peace. My goal is to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
“Imperfection is not our personal problem - it is a natural part of existing.”
