Meet The Team

MarKay Hickerson, MSW, LCSW
MarKay is a trauma psychotherapist specializing in PTSD, and she uses evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. Her own experience with antidepressant tapering, which caused significant withdrawal symptoms, has drawn her to this work. She is dedicated to helping people find the courage and clarity to safely step away from medications that no longer serve them. She creates a warm, judgment-free environment where clients can show up as themselves without masking.

Craig Hickerson, PharmD, AFMCP
Craig brings over 30 years of experience as a hospital pharmacist, with an emphasis in pain management and infectious diseases. He is currently pursuing training in functional medicine, which brings a whole-person perspective to every medication review. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of chronic illness rather than merely managing symptoms. Craig draws on this training to guide the deprescribing process, which sets BFW apart from many other taper programs.

Together, MarKay and Craig guide clients through deprescribing with both clinical precision and genuine compassion, because you deserve a team that understands both the science and the human side of this journey
