Dr. Tiffany E. Wicks, Ed.D., LPC-S

Founder and Executive Director

This practice was born out of my own journey in motherhood. My first pregnancy and birth was difficult to say the least. After birth, I struggled to breastfeed and had severe depression and anxiety. When I finally wanted help, I couldn’t find counselors that specialized in what I was going through. Because of my story, I knew I didn’t want anyone else to feel without support like I did. Since, I’ve suffered pregnancy loss, and have had two other live births. While the birth was redemptive, I still struggled with a perinatal mood disorder, but I was more equipped with what support looked like for me. I was able to be open about my mental health to be cared for and recover. While healing takes time, there is hope and you’re not alone.

I have a Doctorate of Education from Johns Hopkins University, and a Masters in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and supervisor in Texas, Washington DC, Vermont, Virginia and Maryland. Over the years, I have supported people across the lifespan in many different settings such as schools, agencies, and now private practice. Our Liv family extends nationally to extend in person and online access to reproductive mental health care in the future. Additionally, I am an adjunct professor in a graduate counseling program.

I am a wife to my husband of 10 years and a mother to my daughter (8) and two sons (3 and 1).

Zindzi Janaan

Zindzi Janaan (she/her) is a writer, storyteller, and medicine woman with over a decade of birth work and health advocacy experience.

Dr. Danelle Adeniji, Ph.D.

Danelle Adeniji, Ph.D. (they/them), is a recent Curriculum and Instruction graduate from the University of North Texas. Dr. Adeniji’s primary research is situated through a queer, Black, and Afrofuturist lens, which intersects with early childhood, teacher education, and literacy development. Their research illustrates the way traditional teacher education programs can draw from a queer Afrofuturistic lens to co-construct curricula and pedagogical practices, where everyone has access to dream and see their future. As a queer Afrofuturist Black feminist teacher and researcher, Dr. Adeniji aims to continue these collaborations and support teachers and students as they wade through politically driven policies and practices stripping them of fundamental humanizing rights.

As Black Panther, Fred Hampton quoted Argentine Marxist Revolutionary Che Guevara in Judasand the Black Messiah,

“Words are beautiful but actions are supreme.”

Snehal Kanitkar, LPC-Associate

Under the Supervision of Barbara Armitage, LPC-S

She is currently the owner of Metta Counseling, PLLC, in Frisco, TX, and specializes in working with clients with anxiety, perinatal mental health concerns, and relationship issues. Snehal's interest in working with POC, especially the South Asian population, has been influenced by reflections on her own identity, as well as her experiences growing up in a multicultural environment.
