Kim Hicks

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I specialize in process group therapy. I have been leading groups for 25 years.”

About Me

I specialise in process group therapy, offering a consistent space for genuine connection. With 25 years of experience leading groups, I guide members in shared exploration. We observe communication patterns and build more fulfilling relationships. This approach is ideal for clients seeking deeper relational insight. You can practice new ways of interacting in a supportive environment.

Approach

Rather than prescribing steps, I attend closely to what happens between people, naming shifts and invitations to connect as they arise. In San Mateo my groups meet regularly and move at a steady, conversational pace where members speak, listen, and try out different responses while I reflect and offer gentle prompts. Between meetings I encourage noticing real-life interactions and bringing those moments back for curious, practical feedback. This way of working tends to help adults, couples, and families who want clearer, more satisfying ways of relating.
