I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, life transitions, and more through compassionate medication management paired with supportive therapy.

Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.
Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.
I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.
Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. I do not treat adolescents under the age of 21. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.
If you have been feeling anxious, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, frustrated, or weighed down by self doubt, you do not have to sort through it alone. For over 20 years, I have helped individuals, couples, and families work through anxiety, conflict, anger, and self esteem challenges. I am an LCSW with an MSW from the University of Maryland at Baltimore, and I bring both skill and warmth to this work.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 5 years of experience working in outpatient hospital clinics and correctional settings. I support individuals facing substance use, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and psychosis, and I offer a range of psychotherapy approaches. My style is compassionate, transparent, and patient-centered. I aim to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood. I believe in breaking down stigma and working together to find what truly helps you feel better.
Dr. Sikirat is dual License board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse practitioner with over 20 years experience in clinical practice. Adept at exercising evidence-based holistic and culturally competent care. Comfortable working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and PTSD
I have a Masters degree in Social Work. I have worked in healthcare for 15+ years.
My focus is life transitions. Whether it be coping with a disability, a recent medical diagnosis, grief and loss of a friend or family member, or transitioning to the next stage in your own life, I'm here to help you navigate complex systems and complex emotions,
I bring both clinical expertise and real-world experience into our work together. I understand that many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start and I meet clients with patience, respect, and honesty.
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in safety. I don’t rush the process or expect clients to have everything figured out. We move at a pace that feels sustainable, while still working toward meaningful change.
Clients should also know that I value direct communication and transparency. I will offer reflections and tools when helpful, but I will always honor your autonomy and lived experience. I do not believe in pathologizing survival responses, especially when they are shaped by trauma, systemic stress, or long-term caregiving roles.
Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered, a space where you can breathe, reflect, and begin to shift from surviving to living with greater clarity and intention.
