Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I am deeply invested in helping capable, thoughtful adults who have spent too long carrying too much on their own. I am especially drawn to this work because I know how easy it is for people who appear steady and successful, only to have their distress overlooked, even by those closest to them. My approach blends practical, evidence-based therapy with meaningful emotional insight so clients can address anxiety, disrupted sleep, stress, and relationship strain in ways that create lasting change, not just temporary relief.
