Julie Hicks

My clinical work includes helping people navigate a wide spectrum of issues such as trauma (both personal and intergenerational), relationship challenges, identity changes, health concerns, grief, and workplace pressure. I have extensive experience supporting first responders and their families, and I understand the complex emotional, relational, and occupational demands within that world. I also work closely with neurodivergent clients, including individuals with ADHD, Autism, and Learning Disabilities, and I strive to offer care that is respectful, affirming, and accessible.

In individual therapy, I draw from an integrated mix of evidence-informed approaches such as Mindful Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and modalities that support complex trauma and grief processing. My sessions are shaped collaboratively and guided by your goals, your pace, and your lived experience. I help people identify patterns that are no longer serving them, reconnect with their inner strengths, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and grounded.

When working with couples, I take a practical and forward-focused approach. My goal is to help partners strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, understand patterns of conflict, and foster healthier relational habits. Whether navigating a period of strain, adjusting to a major life transition, or working through attachment wounds, couples leave with clear tools and a renewed sense of possibility.

At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy should help people return to themselves, including their resilience, their clarity, and their capacity for connection. My role is to walk alongside you with steadiness and presence as you move toward healing, insight, and growth.
