Mental Fitness Skills
I believe in skills, not disorders.
Hi there, I'm Dr. Hickman.
Do you have goals and dreams that you keep failing to reach despite being highly motivated? Do you feel like something keeps standing in your way and you can't figure out your next steps whether for projects at work, home, school, your creative aspirations or finally launching that business? Then you've landed on the right page. I work with highly motivated men and women who are tired of their excuses and ready to do whatever it takes to learn the skills they need for massive success across all areas of their lives. As you learn invaluable mental fitness skills, you'll uncover your best self, discover how to recruit your emotions as powerful allies, shift perspectives to open doors you previously thought impossible, and finally build the life you've longed for.
I believe you can do it and I'm here to help. It doesn't matter what negative emotions you're having (e.g., anxiety, fear, anger, sadness), what negative habits you're enacting (e.g., avoidance, drowning emotions with food or substances, lashing out in anger, overworking), or what has happened in your past. We can use it all as clues to underlying needs that are driving those emotions and habits. Once discovered, I'll help you make the shift to answering these needs in healthy, productive ways for powerful results. Then, we'll collaborate on setting goals and working toward them for your amazing future.
You've got this. Better yet, we've got this together! Contact me to make an appointment.
