Getting to know Ashika Dickerson
Hello, my name is Ashika Dickerson. I was born in Washington, DC, and raised in the DMV area. I love spending time with my family, traveling, and trying new and exciting foods and desserts. I enjoy quality time with family and friends, whether it’s hosting board game nights, karaoke sessions, or Sunday brunch. When I’m not with family, I also love to travel. I’ve visited 14 countries, and some of my favorites I’ve explored 4 or 5 times. I hope to continue adding to my growing list of travel experiences in the coming years.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of nursing experience and a deep passion for helping clients achieve balance and clarity. My background spans hospital, academic, and community mental health settings, where I’ve cared for clients managing both acute and chronic psychiatric conditions. I’ve also served in intensive care units, nursing education and leadership roles, helping shape the next generation of nursing professionals. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to treating the whole person, the mind, body, and spirit rather than just the symptoms.
I graduated from the University of Maryland's School of Nursing and received my Post-Master's certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Wilkes University's Passan School of Nursing. I am Board-Certified through the American Nurse Credentialing Center as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I pride myself on providing the most up-to-date, evidence-based care to my patients and maintain consistent membership and interaction with colleagues in the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, and the Nurse Practitioner Association of Maryland, Inc.
Clients often describe my approach as down-to-earth, compassionate, and empowering.

This was my first time on Zoc Doc and I’m so grateful it was with Ms. Ashika. Her energy was so warm and it felt like I’d known her forever. She is clearly passionate about what she does, and I would 100000% recommend her.

Ms. Dickerson was amazing! She’s very sweet, and asked very good questions to gain a better understanding of my situation. She’s extremely approachable, and I felt very comfortable relaying information to her upon our first meeting. So, it was an overall great experience! :)

Ms. Ashika was very personable, with wonderful bedside manner. She listened to me explain myhealth challenges and advised me to what needed to do nex and if I needed to see a doctor in person.
She even took the initiative tofollow up with me a few days later to see if my health situation was improving.

Highly recommend, I've been working with her for a while now and am doing a lot better. She's verrryyyy relatable. You don't come across many providers that take the time out to really get to know you and still really know their stuff...you can tell she really cares.

We did not have a visit. I was calling about the free 15 consultation. She was very helpful with information about the sessions. She was professional and polite. Great personality! Awesome mannerism.

From the very first phone call, I knew I was in good hands. She listened with such genuine care and compassion — something you can feel instantly. Meeting her in person was an absolute dream. Her warm smile and kind energy put me at ease from the very first hello. Throughout our time working together, she’s stayed in touch, always checking in and sharing helpful resources so I can truly understand things in my own way. She treats you like family — not just a patient. A true gem and a rare find in this field! Highly, highly recommend.

She has been my mentor for a couple of years. The best support system I have ever experienced in a medical profession with the level of care, compassion, concern and attention that is provided from her you won’t be disappointed.

Nurse Dickerson listens and thoroughly assessed my child's history against symptoms. Additionally, she considered medications previously stopped and the current ones taken. She followed up to see how my child was doing after treatment.
I would highly request her again for our family!

I love Ms. Ashika! She’s amazing at what she does. The time she put into understanding your issues, the effort she puts into researching the most holistic approaches to aide you in, the immense knowledge she has, and omg the CARE! Words can’t describe how amazing she and her services are! Highly recommend 10 out of 10!

I’ve had a very positive experience with Ms. Dickerson. From the first appointment, she’s created a safe, supportive space where I felt comfortable opening up. She listens attentively without judgment and take the time to explain treatment options clearly, making sure I understand every step of the process. Her approach is compassionate yet professional, and I truly feel that my well-being is her priority. I’ve noticed real improvements in both my mental health and overall outlook since starting treatment, and I’m grateful for her guidance and expertise. I would highly recommend Ms. Dickerson to anyone seeking a thoughtful, caring nurse practitioner :) !
