Keshia James Hicks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Louisiana. She has  seven years of experience within the mental health field. She is originally from the Bahamas,  born and raised. Keshia considers it an honor to journey with her clients through their various  life paths. She is a therapist open to learning and discovering new approaches to use with her  clients. She has experience working with a diverse body of clients, from all age and life  spectrums, dealing with grief and loss, life direction, self esteem and many other life  narratives.  

Keshia operates from a existential theory base, while using the modalities of mindfulness,  solution focused, motivational interviewing and CBT. She understands that every client is  different and unique in their way so she keeps flexibility as a foundational pillar in her role as  therapist.  

She understands that therapy can be an uncertain journey for some, filled with questions.  Keshia understands the apprehensive client and the eager one.
