Jordan Hickman, LPC-MHSP
CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND ADULT COUNSELING
Sometimes, we all just need someone to see us… to hear and understand the complexities of the life that we live… but after someone listens, how do we begin our journey of becoming exactly who we want to be? That’s where I come in!
My name is Jordan Hickman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Memphis, Tennessee. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from Missouri State University in Springfield, MO, and continued my education at the University of Memphis with my master’s of science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working in schools, residential facilities, and outpatient offices and provide individual counseling.
I view counseling through a deconstructive lens, meaning that we must look a bit outside of our bubble at external factors that may prohibit growth, such as: capitalism, internalized misogyny, poverty, trauma, etc.
I am passionate about helping people gain the confidence and skills to continue creating the life they yearn for. I utilize techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, Play, and trauma informed therapies. I primarily work with pre- and early adolescents, young adults, and older adults.
I believe that we all deserve to be heard and given the opportunity to grow and expand!

Whit Powell, LCSW
ADULT COUNSELING
True transformation begins when you finally find a space where you don’t have to carry the armor alone. As a front-line healthcare worker myself, I speak the unique language of medical professionals, first responders, law enforcement, and crisis workers. I understand the intense weight of the shifts, the systemic pressure, and the profound impact of secondary trauma and moral injury.
My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply holistic. I combine structured Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with systemic and somatic frameworks, working from the belief that our minds and bodies are connected and always influencing one another. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings while practicing mindfulness and body awareness to help you process trauma, navigate burnout and moral injury, and reclaim your sovereignty. It would be my absolute honor to provide a safe, non-judgmental sanctuary where you can step out of the helper role and focus entirely on your own growth and resilience.
When I am off the clock, I love spending time with my family and my three dogs. You can usually find me going on walks, volunteering, or trying out new fitness classes around Nashville.
Sarah Hafner, LPC-MHSP
CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND ADULT COUNSELING
I believe healing happens when young people feel safe, understood, and accepted in all parts of who they are. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where children, teens, and young adults can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for them. My work is guided by the belief that all aspects of a person’s experience are meaningful and worthy of compassion. I help young people develop emotional awareness and related skills, as well as confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you or your child is experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or the impact of trauma, I strive to offer a steady, caring presence during therapy while supporting growth and resilience. I am IFS informed and regularly use components from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and experiential techniques to assist clients on their healing journey. I am a licensed practitioner in the state of TN #6397.
Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy practicing yoga and spending time with family and in nature.
Daniel Church, LMSW
CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND ADULT COUNSELING
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and no one should have to navigate it alone. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and a DBT-informed approach, I support clients in developing healthier coping skills, increasing psychological flexibility, strengthening support and connection, and building resilience. When helpful, I also work with teens and families to improve communication, deepen understanding, and navigate conflict in more effective ways.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Memphis in 2024 and have experience working in acute inpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I have provided individual, group, and family counseling, with much of my work focused on supporting individuals and families during periods of significant distress and helping them identify meaningful next steps toward healing and recovery.
I believe having a safe place to talk through the ups and downs of life is an essential part of the human experience. I see therapy as a space where connection and understanding can grow, helping people build confidence, hope, and a sense of well-being.

Hannah Creasey, LCSW
CHILD, ADOLESCENT, ADULT, AND FAMILY COUNSELING
Therapy is like exercise for your mental health and emotions. Sometimes we need to practice certain exercises more than others in order to keep our muscles in shape or strengthen new muscles. Therapy works the same way, learning and practicing skills such as communication, self regulation, boundaries, and self love. I believe anyone can benefit from therapy, whether it is to focus on specific issues such as anxiety, depression, managing stressors, or processing past traumas, or for maintenance of your skills and putting them into practice. Through practice and self reflection, we gain a deeper understanding of the way our minds and emotions work and how they can best serve us.
I value collaborative efforts in the therapy space, with my main goal being to create a safe space for you to engage in therapy. My general approach as a clinician is to draw from several therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral, relational, mindfulness, systems focused, and solution focused modalities. I also offer EMDR therapy.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with additional education and knowledge in the public health space. I use trauma informed and person centered practices to meet clients where they are at in their own mental health journey. I have experience working in the hospital setting (inpatient and outpatient), and have specialized in perinatal mental health, family systems, and substance use and addiction. I was a long time athlete (including college) and know how your mental health can affect your game. I also have personally benefited from the positive effects of therapy and pieces of that journey fuel me to create a positive space for others to experience that same benefit.
I would be honored to guide you in your mental health journey and assist you in your healing.
