Getting to know Marsha Hicks

Are you feeling stuck in overthinking, emotional reactivity, or self-doubt—even when you know you’re capable of more? You may feel like your inner critic is running the show, leaving you exhausted or disconnected from yourself. I’m Marsha Hicks-Richards, LCSW, and I help clients move from survival mode into clarity, emotional balance, and self-trust. I believe therapy is an act of courage and self-care, and my role is to support you in reconnecting with your strengths while learning practical tools to navigate life more effectively. My approach is integrative and holistic, blending DBT, CBT, Schema Therapy, inner child work, and mindfulness to support both emotional regulation and deeper healing. I have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as those struggling with intense emotions, relationship patterns, anxiety, and self-esteem. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and focused on helping you feel more stable, empowered, and aligned in your daily life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to process and work through unhealed emotional wounds so that you can experience mental wellness and feelings of connectedness to yourself and with others. I have experience with all types of issues including grief and loss, crisis stabilization, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma childhood disorders, and addictions.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
