Robin Hicks
Meet your therapist
Greetings to all,
My name is Robin Hicks. I am the first person in three generations to earn a college degree. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Spalding University in Louisville Kentucky and a Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from St Mary’s University in Minnesota.
I grew up in Minneapolis with many challenges and traumas, in a one-parent household. My ambition has led me to want to help motivate and guide others in their quest to identify, develop, and deliver their purposes in life. I have supported others in a variety of settings, ranging from infants to adults and families, presenting with a variety of emotional, social, and behavioral concerns. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing.
I have also worked as a therapist in a non-profit organization, private practice, college, and as the Clinic Supervisor for a residential program for boys, ages 10-19. I have experience in treating and working with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. As well as experience working with those who have a criminal background and members of the LGBTQIA+ community
