Getting to know Mary Margaret Hickey

Hell and welcome. My name is Peggy and I am a compassionate and seasoned mental health professional with 25 years of experience specializing in strength-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support adult clients in achieving lasting psychological well-being. Expertise in delivering effective, evidence-based care via telehealth, ensuring accessibility and continuity of treatment across diverse populations. Proven ability to foster resilience, reframe maladaptive thought patterns, and process trauma with clinical precision and empathy. Committed to maintaining ethical, compliant, and client-centered practice in virtual settings, leveraging technology to strengthen therapeutic alliances and optimize outcomes. Continuously advancing clinical skills through professional development, including telehealth-specific training in legal, ethical, and clinical considerations.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am your advocate to provide direct and straightforward yet empathetic guidance. I take pride in my ability to listen and understand where the concerns lie and help you navigate through. I have extensive knowledge, resources, skills and tools to offer and help problem solve your issues. I have vast experience working with depression, co-dependency, addictions, grief, men's issues and trauma. My real expertise lies in anxiety, OCD and women struggling with peri or menopause symptoms.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I would love to chat for a brief phone appt (NO CHARGE) to determine if we are a good fit. If we move forward I will have you come for a psychiatric evaluation to gather information in order to get a big picture of who you are and where you've come from. I like to be thorough. This will all be over telehealth i.e. Zoom. I especially love to hear about your self care routines and social supports as they are necessary for improving and managing your mental health. As a new client I prefer that we meet weekly to develop trust and build rapport. I am flexible with my availability and work with you and your schedule to make sure you are seen when you need or want a session. When it's comfortable we will reduce sessions to twice a month or what is preferred. I offer assignments and homework but do not pressure you to follow through. I always have your best interest in mind and offer assistance accordingly.
