Dr Scott Hickman

Psychoanalyst

Verified

“I work with people who seek long-lasting change for their lives, whether feeling stuck, depressed, or anxious in every day life.”

About Me

I am a psychoanalyst and licensed clinical psychologist in Dallas, Texas. I help adults address anxiety, mood disorders, relationship problems, and trauma. I provide psychoanalytic, long-term therapy for people who want deeper self-understanding.

Approach

Seeking long-lasting change means our work moves beyond quick fixes into a steady, exploratory process that gently untangles patterns shaping daily moods and relationships. In my Southlake office and via secure online sessions in English, I keep a measured pace—close attention to moments of feeling stuck, noticing recurring emotions, and inviting reflection between meetings. Through psychoanalytic listening and sustained dialogue, we trace how past experiences show up now, helping you experiment with new choices inside and outside sessions. This way of working often suits adults ready for deeper self-understanding and durable change.
