About MarKay Hickerson LCSW, PLLC

MarKay is an empathic psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples find the courage and strength to embrace life's challenges and grow from them. She creates a safe, supportive space where clients can bring their authentic selves, often using humor to foster connection and trust.

Beginning her career in Community Mental Health with traditional talk therapy, MarKay sought more effective ways to facilitate healing. This journey led her to integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapies into her practice. She provides EMDR therapy and specializes in helping couples through couples therapy in Kilgore, TX, addressing the root causes of struggles rather than just managing symptoms.

For clients wishing to incorporate their Christian faith into therapy, MarKay offers integration of Christianity with IFS and EMDR. She also facilitates support groups for sexual abuse survivors and individuals who have experienced church hurt.

MarKay provides therapy both in person and via telehealth to meet the needs of her clients.
