Laura Hickey Psychotherapy, LICSW
Laura Hickey believes that everyone has strength that comes from within, but people sometimes do not have fully-tuned skills to access their inner strength. Therapy is an opportunity to explore past events and patterns that have created self-defeating behaviors and identify skills to change inner narratives. She works with adults through a strengths-based perspective.

“I have worked in psychiatric rehab and community-based mental health care.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
I have worked in psychiatric rehab and community-based mental health care. This work has shown me the disparities in mental health care based on financial means as well as the way that mental illness affects the entire family. I have been trained in motivational interviewing and internal family systems.
What are you most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?
I would like to develop my knowledge of eating disorders, both the clinical influences and societal influences.
