Angela Dickerson

My communication style

Open, honest, but tactful. And this is how I like my clients to engage with me. You will find that I am very down-to-earth. I'm a Country Girl at heart.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was a single, pregnant teenager at the age of 16. I was assigned a caseworker through a program for teen mothers who was actually a Social Worker by trade. Over the years, she became my mentor as I trained as a Social Worker also. My experiences in life made me want to help others with similar and other experiences.

My goals for you

I ask my clients to think about what they would like to be different, what this would feel like, and even what it would look like. Then we discuss how to get there reasonably, changing those things that we can through therapy. Next, I discuss with them various modalities that will help us to do this and also discuss which one(s) we will use.

Our first session

During the first session I will introduce myself, my history of training, my experience working with various client groups, my experience working with various modalities, and also what each session will look like for the most part. I will then discuss what an Intake Assessment is and review the Client's history. We will then start the Intake.
