Meet Anita Hicks, LCSW (she/her/hers):

Hello! I’m a therapist at Olive Branch Therapy Group and a licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Stockton University. I’ve been in practice since 2015 and I have worked in a variety of settings within the mental health field.

My Therapy Specialties:

I am passionate about working with individuals who struggle with Perinatal/ Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders and aim to work with individuals to provide them with resources, education, and positive support, in order to navigate these major life changes.

What drew me to this work:

Through my own personal and professional experiences I was led on a path to pursue a role as a therapist. I have always had a passion for connecting with others on a deeper level and this profession provides me with the opportunity to do so. It is extremely rewarding to be able to be a part of someone’s journey in learning to become comfortable with being vulnerable in order to find true happiness.

My style:

I am warm, engaged, direct, and flexible. My goal is to work as a team with my clients to help them see the strengths that they already possess. I take an individual approach as each client and their needs are unique. It is my mission to ensure that each client feels safe and maintains a sense of hope.

A Little About Me:

I don’t drink coffee but the Starbucks barista already knows my order.

Services I offer:

In-person individual, couple, and family therapy.
