Find a Therapist in United States

Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? If you sense you have wounded inner child defense patterns from the past that block you from moving forward into the authentic self-expression of your needs and aspirations, I invite you into a therapy space where your originality, inner imagery, thoughts, and feelings can lead you towards greater wholeness, strength, and maturity. ​  

Compassionate, non-judgmental therapy that works! Dr. Tickner has been helping people live the life they deserve and have the relationships they want for over 25 years. His approach brings together the best from the worlds of cognitive therapy, couples counseling, individual therapy, mindfulness/meditation, somatic psychology, trauma therapy, and neuroscience.  

Our early attachment patterns leave deep imprints that shape how we relate, love, and experience connection throughout our lives. It is a true privilege to walk alongside individuals and couples from all walks of life—helping them grow in self-awareness, emotional healing, and abiding intimacy with God and others. My desire is to support clients in living with greater freedom, wholeness, and joy, in alignment with Christ’s invitation to “have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).  

I believe that healing happens in the context of connection, understanding, and support. My practice is built on the foundation of meeting you where you are, without judgment, and helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. As a licensed psychologist, I take a holistic approach, considering not just your symptoms but your relationships, environment, and overall well-being. Whether you’re an individual seeking clarity or a couple working through difficulties, I create a safe and affirming space where real change can happen. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about uncovering the strengths you already have and learning how to use them in ways that feel right for you. If you’re ready to start that journey, I would love to help. Contact me today, and let’s take the next step together.  

Are you feeling stuck or unsure of how to move forward? Maybe you’ve noticed patterns in your reactions or behaviors that no longer feel helpful or symptoms that make it hard to feel calm, present, and engaged in your daily life. I offer a supportive, grounded space where you can feel heard while also being gently challenged to look beneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore the underlying drivers of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so you can create meaningful, lasting change rather than just temporary relief. My approach is both compassionate and practical, helping you build insight, shift patterns, and reconnect with a greater sense of ease, clarity, and direction in your life.  

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I am passionate about helping my clients discover the best possible version of themselves. I have many years of experience providing counseling services in a number of settings. I am currently available for online Telehealth counseling services in Florida and Georgia.  

Clinicians at Shoreline Psychological are well-trained and supported by our collegial warm environment. Every individual being served gets the advantage of a group of clinicians that value the use of consultation and supervision. We treat every individual being served as being helped by the practice as a whole. Our value of providing compassionate, evidence-based treatment guides our decision-making. Our value of serving the whole individual propels our commitment to going over and beyond what happens in the session, to consulting and collaborating with others who may be taking a treatment or personal role in an individual's life.  

I believe in the healing power of being fully heard and fully accepted. I strive to be inclusive and welcoming to all.  

As a therapist, I approach this work through a somatic lens, recognizing that what we experience emotionally is often held in the body, not just in our thoughts. I support clients in understanding their patterns while also helping them build a more regulated and grounded relationship with themselves. This means we’re not only talking about what’s happening, but also paying attention to how it’s showing up physically and how to shift those responses over time. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space that feels steady, collaborative, and connected, where you can feel supported both in your internal experience and in how you relate to others in your life.  

I am all about secure attachment and emotional wellbeing. My clients resonate with my Emotionally Focused and Narrative therapeutic approach as it bridges your narratives with the ongoing emotions that come with them. These modalities offer you the opportunity to feel your emotions and create the open space to be vulnerable with yourself and your loved ones. My approach also provides skills to create emotional safety within your relationships, understand the narratives of your life and how to promote personal growth through mindfulness.  

We are an open and affirming group of therapy providers offering counseling sessions to clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. We are a group of providers passionate about working with individuals who want to create their life worth living. A specialty of our group is working with individuals who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, either around sexual and gender identity questions directly or around other mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, that are informed by sexual and gender identity. We work with many individuals who are gender non-conforming, transgender, or gender queer, as well as their families. We make no assumptions about your or your child's gender when you come to our practice, but rather our goal is to listen and help you navigate how best to move forward either individually or as a family. Part of our work also encompasses queer relationship counseling, as well as non-traditional relationships, such as open and polyamorous relationships. Another primary speciality area of ours is offering evidenced based treatment, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for emotion and behavior regulation. Clients come to us struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, attention and organization difficulties, and/or self injury. We provide practice tools, skills and techniques to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more effectively. We are focused on providing effective care for anyone who wants to make change in their life and reduce suffering.  

Most men who reach out to me aren’t falling apart, they’re holding everything together while feeling numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. You don’t need perfect words or a dramatic story to work with me. You just need the truth of where you are. My work is grounded, direct, patient, and honest. I help men explore the deeper layers of identity, trauma, shame, and relationships, the things you were never given the space to talk about. I’m not here to lecture you or nod quietly. I’m here to help you understand yourself in a way that finally makes sense and opens something inside you that’s been shut for a long time. If you’re ready for therapy that actually means something, I’m here for you.  

I work with adults who feel worn down by trauma, spiritual or religious harm, and identity-related stress. Many clients arrive feeling “functional” but internally stuck in fear, shutdown, shame, or exhaustion. My office is a place to bring the real story without needing to minimize it. I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who blends psychotherapy with careful, collaborative medication support when useful. Sessions often include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR principles, with practical skills from ACT to help you move toward values, not just symptom control. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and people recovering from SOGICE experiences with special care and respect. We move at your pace and build change meant to last.  

I have been working with people for over 25 years and love to see people take flight and fly again in their lives. I never judge you or what you have done or who you tell me you are. Rather, I help you discern what you WANT to be and what you want to do and work to help you be and do that. My job is to help you become the very best you you can be. I encourage, support, comfort, challenge, and do all of these with humor and warmth. I simply don't think there is any other way for me to work.
