Brian Wicks

Brian Wicks is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota (MN LMFT 3970) with 10 years of clinical experience. He has worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families, helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

He approaches therapy believing the client is the author of their own story and can reshape that narrative at any time. Brian works with people to identify conscious and unconscious patterns and perspectives that contribute to recurring cycles of negative responses, and he partners with clients to develop new viewpoints that support personal change.

As an African American male and a person of color, Brian recognizes how difficult it can be to engage in therapy when cultural understanding is lacking. He aims to provide culturally competent care by listening to each person’s story and considering how race, ethnicity, and culture influence meaning and experience. Through this work, he strives to build trust in mental health services among people of color who may have experienced or heard of negative encounters with the field.

Brian treats each client as unique and avoids one-size-fits-all solutions. He collaborates with clients to explore a variety of approaches and to find practical strategies that help create a New Normal and improve daily life.
