April Hicks
Director & Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I have always enjoyed helping people solve problems, so the choice to enter the mental health field was the best decision I have ever made. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in treating adults and elder adults. I am very passionate about helping my clients shift their mindset via utilization of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Faith-Based and Strength-based modalities. Although I am a native of Cleveland, Ohio, I spent a great amount of time working with patients in Atlanta, GA. I received my Masters degree in Social Work from Clark Atlanta University, from there I immediately began my career in Atlanta, GA as a Social Worker. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with people of all ages, from all walks of life. For many years I worked in an inpatient facility - this role allowed me to proficiently work with those coping with life stressors, depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, trauma, crisis support, and interpersonal relationship issues.
I truly believe most people want to transform something or some area in their lives. Whether it be learning how to cope with Depression and Anxiety, learning how to communicate better within their relationships, or learning ways to cope with the pressures of day to day life. Which Is why I created Learning is Transformation (L.I.T.). The key word that stuck with me was LEARNING. Many want change, but may need assistance in bringing about transformation. I believe in meaningful connections. I believe there is a strong desire to transform problematic areas in. I believe my passion and purpose is connected to helping others LEARN new ways to TRANSFORM their quality of life.
My goal is to help you understand the primary issues or areas in your life that need transformation. Through establishing a collaborative and therapeutic relationship, my objective is to support you through life transitions, while you will learn to transform from life's challenges with a stronger sense of self, confidence, purpose, and coping capacity. Through communication and positive connections we will work together while developing a transformation plan.
