Cameda Dickerson, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Cameda!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing childhood trauma, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, co-dependency, attachment issues, grief, adjustment issues, depression, and mood disturbance. Using a Cognitive Behavioral approach with care and empathy, I provide a safe place to explore your experiences.

My focus

I focus on childhood trauma, daily stressors, and attachment issues across all ages. I help you understand confusing responses and reactions by exploring how we respond to trauma and stress. I specialize in foster-care issues, juvenile probation, eating disorders, gender identity, parenting, and family conflict.

My approach

My approach varies depending on your individual needs. I use a cognitive-behavioral, strength-based perspective to build a strong, genuine therapeutic relationship. My goal is to empower you to reach your highest growth potential through collaboration and understanding.

My communication style

I communicate with compassion, transparency, and empathy. I'm committed to helping you reach your highest potential for growth and wellness. I'm passionate about helping you identify your strengths and develop deeper self-awareness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been passionate about understanding what shapes behavior. After working in juvenile probation, adult addiction, and wraparound services, I became a clinician because I have strong compassion for helping others through their most challenging circumstances. My purpose is to help build resilience.

My goals for you

My goal is to build a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship and meet you exactly where you are. After completing an initial assessment and collaborative treatment planning, I work with you to monitor progress and empower you to complete your goals and desired outcomes.

Our first session

During our first session, I focus on understanding you as a person and meeting you where you are. The session consists of an initial assessment followed by a reflective, collaborative treatment planning process tailored to your needs.
