Norval J. HickmanPsychologist, PhD, MPH (he, him)

About

I use an integrative approach that blends evidence-based practices grounded in the psychological literature. I have experience working with adolescents and adults to eliminate: anxiety, stress, and anger issues; depressive and bipolar mood symptoms; relationship, work, and school issues; rumination and repetitive behaviors; and substance use problems. Therapy is a process that can involve learning skills, working through challenging emotions, motivating ego, behavior change, interpersonal effectiveness, and identity formation factors. I have specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma re-processing, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and motivational enhancement. In addition to talk therapy, I use relaxation, mindfulness, and grounding strategies to enhance mind-body-spirit communication.
