Getting to know Ruth Hickmon
“When Change Feels Overwhelming, Another Direction Is Possible.” Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the same painful cycle? You don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re struggling with depression, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, substance use, or relationship challenges, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make real changes.
Since 2015, I’ve worked with adults and couples as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) in Florida. My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you manage stress, improve relationships, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
I also specialize in couples counseling—helping partners break old patterns of conflict, improve communication, and rebuild a foundation of friendship and trust. Using Gottman-informed strategies and Cognitive-Behavioral Couple Therapy, I guide couples toward lasting connection and healthier ways of relating.
For those who desire it, I offer Christian counseling, integrating biblical principles and faith-based support with proven therapeutic approaches. I respect where you are in your spiritual walk and will honor the role faith plays in your healing journey.
? My goal is simple: to help you find relief, rediscover hope, and create a life and relationships that feel more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit.
