Learn about Our Therapists
Check out the Emotion Alchemy Team bios below. We are all Fully Licensed or Qualifying Therapists. Note that Qualifying Therapists have completed all graduate work and are currently completing their hours to apply for their Full License. They are under direct supervision of Dr. Laurel Hicks, PhD and are very skilled and supported. Often a qualifying therapist can offer a lower fee which allows us to keep our services more accessible.
