Tracy(Ruth) has been nothing but the best therapist for me. She tells it as it is and helps people understand the core issue of what is wrong. I have been through a few therapist over the years and they would always try to just be my friend. Tracy has been extremely helpful in so many ways and provides guidance catered to each individuals needs. I strongly recommend her to any and all people.

Ruth Hickmon is an amazing therapist. She has not only the evidence based expertise but also a strong Christ centered faith that she brings to all of our sessions, which is very important to me. She repeatedly relates and intertwines the science of mental health with scripture which I find extremely effective. Ruth is an active and intentional listener and she challenges my thought processes in a gentle yet truthful way. Most of all, I believe she actually cares about the things that concern me and is always sharing supplemental material with me to familiarize myself with. Ruth helped me get through probably the most challenging season of my professional and personal life. Working with her has been life changing and a pleasure. Would recommend her to ANY person.
