Counseling
Counseling is at the core of what we do at The Center KSQ. The inception of the design of our integrated-wellness community was founded on the insight and vision of our original counseling team. Counseling is such a vital and important tool. It centers around not what is wrong with you, but about what has happened. This is a paradigm shift in the clinical world and a cornerstone to who we are and how we practice as a team at The Center KSQ.
Aijah Hickey, MS, works with children, adolescents, and families navigating trauma, life transitions, emotional challenges, and relational stress. She brings a warm, encouraging, and nonjudgmental presence to therapy, helping clients feel supported while building the tools they need to move forward with confidence. Aijah is especially drawn to helping young people and families strengthen resilience, improve coping, and create healthier patterns in everyday life. She is currently a postgraduate counselor with us working to licensure.
Her approach is trauma-informed and developmentally attuned, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and play therapy. Aijah’s background includes work in the juvenile justice system, education settings, and dependency court systems, where she collaborated with families, agencies, and community support throughout Chester County. That experience shaped her ability to meet clients where they are and tailor care to each person’s needs with compassion and clarity.
