Anxiety and overwhelm
Persistent worry, emotional pressure, perfectionism, difficulty resting, or feeling responsible for everything.
Virtual therapy serving Memphis
Virtual therapy with a Black woman therapist serving Memphis.
Monika Hicks, LCSW provides virtual therapy to eligible clients across Tennessee, including people in Memphis who are looking for culturally aware support for anxiety, burnout, boundaries, emotional exhaustion, life transitions, and healthier patterns.
Finding a therapist can feel more workable when you do not have to spend the entire relationship translating the cultural pressure, family expectations, professional demands, and survival patterns that shape your life.
Cultural fit
Support that makes room for your full context.
Working with a Black woman therapist may matter when race, gender, family roles, professional expectations, faith, caregiving, or the pressure to be “the strong one” are part of what you are carrying. Cultural awareness does not replace individualized care, but it can reduce the feeling that you must explain every layer before the real work can begin.
Hicks Consulting serves clients of all ethnicities while intentionally centering the experiences of Black women and other people who have learned to survive by overfunctioning, minimizing their needs, or staying composed at their own expense.
What therapy may support
A grounded place to look at what is no longer sustainable.
The work remains individual. These are common reasons people reach out, not diagnoses or promises about outcomes.
Burnout and boundaries
Overextending, resentment, people-pleasing, work stress, compassion fatigue, or difficulty saying no.
Identity and life transitions
Changing roles, grief, relationships, self-worth, decision-making, or rebuilding a life that feels more honest.
Virtual care
Therapy is online and limited to eligible Tennessee clients.
Hicks Consulting does not claim a physical Memphis therapy office. Individual therapy is provided virtually through a secure platform to clients who are located in Tennessee and otherwise eligible for services at the time of care.
Coaching, groups, and organizational training have separate scopes and should not be treated as substitutes for therapy.
Frequently asked questions
Questions people often ask before reaching out.
Do I have to live in Memphis to work with Hicks Consulting?
No. Therapy is virtual and is available to eligible clients located in Tennessee. Memphis is one of the communities served.
Is Hicks Consulting only for Black women?
No. Hicks Consulting serves clients of all ethnicities while bringing specialized cultural awareness and intentional support for Black women to the center of the practice.
Does culturally aware therapy mean every experience will be assumed?
No. Cultural awareness should make space for context without replacing curiosity. Your individual experiences, values, needs, and goals still guide the work.
Can coaching be used instead of therapy?
Coaching is non-clinical and is not therapy. The most appropriate path depends on what you need and whether clinical treatment is indicated.
