Welcome to Center for Shared Insight

Along the path of life, there are moments when it becomes essential to pause, look inward, and explore what may be holding you back from being your best self—both personally and in your relationships. This process often involves developing insight and awareness into long-standing, and often intergenerational, patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. Do these patterns lead to sadness, pain, frustration, or anxiety?

I’m Dr. Kristen Hick, and I am here to support you in dating, relationships, and beyond.

I help individuals:

• Attract and create healthy relationships

• Transform relationship challenges, including relationship anxiety, avoidance, and conflict

• Recover from separation, break-ups, and divorce

• Overcome trauma, anxiety, and depression

• Receive support through pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, and loss

• Prepare for and adjust to parenthood, both as a parent and as a partner

My Mission
My mission is to help heal unresolved relational wounds and experiences that interfere with secure and meaningful connection. Through a warm, responsive, and supportive therapeutic relationship, I work with you to strengthen healthy attachment and empower you to develop new ways of relating—both to yourself and to others.

Through this work, my goal is to support stronger relationships, families, and communities by fostering self-aware, empowered, and securely connected adolescents and adults.

My Approach
I specialize in attachment-oriented, trauma-informed therapy and use an individualized approach tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Together, we will explore how early life experiences may be influencing your current relationships and identify what is keeping you feeling stuck. Individual therapy can help you overcome these barriers and develop the insight and skills needed for healthy, fulfilling relationships.

What You Can Expect
You can expect an authentic, collaborative, and compassionate therapeutic environment, along with gentle encouragement toward meaningful change. I place great importance on building a strong, trusting working relationship, as this foundation allows us to safely identify, explore, process, and transform unhealthy patterns—so lasting growth and connection are possible.
