About Me
Hi, welcome to my MSW Portfolio. My name is Jennifer Hicks, and I currently reside in Dalton, Georgia. I graduated with a BA in Social Services from Belhaven University in 2020. I graduated from Southern Adventist University in December 2022 with an MSW degree. Over the past few years, through employment and field settings, I have gained experience working in the field of addiction by facilitating psychoeducational groups, conducting assessments, and providing counseling. Additionally, I have gained experience working with families to assist with family unification by providing educational and support groups, counseling, parenting aid, and behavior aid services. I am looking forward to continuing my career as a social worker.
Mission Statement
“I am inspired personally and professionally to provide the best quality of care to those that suffer from the disease of addiction, mental health issues, and crisis situations. I feel that through my own strength and experience, I have much to offer, and those experiences can best be applied within my field of study. I am dedicated and committed to treating each person with dignity and worth and ensuring that identified goals are ascertainable.”
“In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?”
-Carl Rogers
