Getting to know Timothy Hicks
Ryan Hicks, MS, LMFT, LPC is a therapist at Relief Mental Health in Denver, Colorado, who specializes in working with individuals and couples navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational challenges. With over a decade of clinical experience, Ryan brings a deep and thoughtful approach to family therapy, couples counseling, and relationship dynamics with a particular passion for supporting clients in unique relationship structures and nontraditional partnerships.
Ryan takes an integrative, attachment-informed approach to therapy, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based interventions, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for clients with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. He has extensive couples therapy experience, with the majority of his clinical career dedicated to helping partners build stronger emotional bonds, improve communication, and navigate relational conflict with greater ease and understanding.
Ryan is committed to creating a judgment-free space where all clients — regardless of relationship structure or background feel genuinely seen and supported. He believes that healing is relational at its core, and he works collaboratively with each client to develop a personalized path forward.
Ryan earned his Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling from Harding University and holds licensure as both an LMFT and LPC. He has served as affiliate faculty at Regis University and as a visiting instructor at Naropa University, and is a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first appointment will involve a review of personal history, including family dynamics, childhood experiences, relationships, and any significant life events as well as explore the reasons you sought therapy and the specific symptoms and challenges you are facing. Recommendations for care will be provided and together you’ll begin to develop a plan to achieve your goals and achieve symptom relief.
Relief Mental Health is an outpatient provider of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (SPRAVATO® and IV Ketamine), psychiatric medication management, and talk therapy for the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and other mental health diagnoses. While our expertise is broad, there are certain mental health conditions and diagnoses that fall outside our scope of practice. Your initial appointment will be considered an intake appointment and will not guarantee a continued patient-provider relationship.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
If we do not receive your insurance information at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, we will collect a $100.00 deposit at the time of service and verify benefits after your appointment has taken place. This deposit will be applied towards any out-of-pocket costs for services, including copays, coinsurances, deductibles, or the full cash rate if we are out-of-network or unable to verify your insurance benefits. Once benefits are verified, any outstanding balance will be charged to the credit card on file and any overpayment can be refunded or applied to future visits. Our providers’ profiles list which insurances they accept, but patients are still encouraged to contact their insurance company for specific coverage details. Most of our providers are in-network with a variety of commercial PPO policies and Medicare, but are out-of-network with commercial HMO policies, Medicaid and other government-funded health insurance providers.
