Clifton Hickman

Licensed Professional Counselor, ASAT, EMDR Trained

 

Are you strained relationally, emotionally, and physically? Could it be that your story needs to be uncovered? Every person has a story and I find their stories so compelling - the joys, hardships, adversities, struggles, and passions. Life will throw all types of hardships we never imagined. You may have experienced loss, hurt, depression, or addiction and it seems impossible to sort it out. Maybe you are in your own way? We all need relationships that provide support and wisdom to assist us during troubled times when we feel lost. My joy is to provide this path of growth to men because I have benefited so much in counseling.

I discovered my heart for people who feel lost and without hope during my time on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. Multiple students felt controlled by pornography, sex addiction, substances, and depression. I met students who had trouble figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives and where to find meaning. I found myself more and more engaged in those conversations as well as wanting to grow in my ability to help those who are struggling. So I decided to acquire my Masters in Counseling and attended specialized trainings in order to better understand as well as help strugglers. My goal is to be a fellow traveler with those who struggle. Together we can understand how you got there and we can discover a path forward in order to achieve freedom from your struggle to a better life. Addiction takes a devastating toll on the struggler, the partner of the struggler, and the families. My specialties are sex/porn addiction (ASAT Certified), trauma (EMDR Trained), substance addiction, and men’s issues. My counseling is offered from a Christian worldview but is not limited to faith-based therapy. I am willing to meet you where you are - it is your story.

Everybody has a Story and I would love to hear yours.
