Amy B Hickman, LCSW
Specializes In:
Amy B. Hickman, LCSW, helps individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clinical insight, and practical tools for lasting change. Serving patients across Indiana, Amy provides therapy for children, teens, adults, and seniors through individual, family, and group therapy. She creates a warm, supportive space where clients feel empowered to better understand themselves and make meaningful progress toward their goals.
Amy specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma—conditions she frequently sees in her practice. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, she supports clients in developing resilience, improving emotional regulation, and building healthier thought patterns. She also incorporates Christian counseling and mindfulness when appropriate, tailoring care to each person’s values and needs.
In addition to her primary specialties, Amy works with individuals managing bipolar disorder, gender identity exploration, grief, sleep disorders, and reproductive challenges. She offers support for those experiencing later life or midlife transitions, postpartum depression or anxiety, and childhood behavior issues. Amy has extensive experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQ+, military personnel and veterans, and individuals impacted by adoption or foster care. She also provides gender-affirmative and medical readiness evaluations.
Outside of her clinical work, Amy finds joy in hiking, spending time with her grandchildren, knitting, and teaching middle schoolers at her church. She loves being outdoors and caring for her pets, which bring balance to her life and enrich the compassionate care she offers.
