Angela Hicks

Therapist

Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Stress, anxiety, panic, trauma, or depression taking away your peace? You don’t have to keep feeling stuck, defeated, or disconnected from the life you want. After a decade as a chiropractor helping people with back and joint pain, I discovered a powerful pattern: unresolved emotional pain can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. That realization led me to counseling—and to a passion for helping people heal from the inside out. I work with concerns including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, mood disorders, chronic pain, codependency, phobias, and women’s issues.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

5403 Weyerhaeuser Road, Ayden, NC

I work primarily with Christian women who feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life—especially those navigating chronic health challenges alongside anxiety, depression, burnout, or grief. You may feel like taking care of your health, your responsibilities, your relationships, and your faith has become a full-time job, and you're tired of always feeling behind.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with specialized training in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy. I believe counseling can be a place where your faith is welcomed rather than set aside. Together, we can work toward greater peace with God, yourself, others, and the life you’re living.
