Elaine Hicks

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working as a social worker on Oahu. I have provided a range of services from therapy, case management, and psychosocial rehabilitation. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, managing life stress/problems, and other mental health providers facing compassion fatigue and burnout. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic and combines elements of the humanistic perspective, focusing on well-being theory, positive psychology, problem-solving therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Understanding culture and the role it plays in life is another important element that we will incorporate. My goal is to empower you and provide tools while creating a space where you can safely take those next steps on your life journey. I look forward to working with you!
