Mental Health Month - Jenay Hicks

As therapists, we are in the empathy business! I believe in the human capacity to ‘self-actualize.’ In psychology, self-actualization is achieved when clients reach their full potential. I have learned that we are more alike than different in this space. Most people want to feel seen, heard, loved, valued, protected, and connected. Where one is missing, there is usually an amplification in anxiety. I love the science of the mind. The resilience of my clients inspires me. I initially wanted to train to become a licensed clinical therapist to help residents and physicians identify greater pathways to peace. Since then, my goal has expanded to support women, leaders, and their teams on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
