About me

Hello there. I'm Alan Hickey, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2015 with a Master of Arts degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy.

There's an important connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They influence one another in many ways, though they are often in ways that may be confusing - at first - to the person living them. By talking about them, we can together gain a deeper understanding of how they are connected for you, then equip you with new ways of interrupting uncomfortable patterns of thinking, feeling, or interacting.

I've helped teens understand their self-worth, bridge the gap between their internal thoughts and external communication, and help them grow beyond traumatic events. I believe you matter, what you think matters. what you feel matters, what you say and do matter - it all counts - and teens are capable of being heard and understood.

I have been working with Alan for about 7 months now and he's been instrumental in my personal growth. He has an amazing way of navigating any issues i've presented to him and finding solutions that I've understood and implement in my life. Needless to say, I have the utmost confidence in his abilities as a therapist and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Alan was a great therapist, and I wish our scheduled could have aligned better so I could continue working with him. He made it feel very safe to share anything, gave thoughtful and helpful responses, and provided some great perspectives. I really enjoyed working with him, and always felt I was making progress after our sessions.

Anyone looking for a highly qualified counselor, just found him! Alan has been an amazing asset to my 13 y/o daughter over the past couple months. Huge strides in building her confidence, socializing more, and accepting herself.
Thank you Alan, for all your support!
