Getting to know Angela Dickerson

Hi there, I'm Angela! I'm an Air Force Veteran that has dedicated my career to helping other Veterans, Service Members, and civilians actively improve their mental health. But you have to be willing to work at it. I'll walk with you as far as you're willing to walk. My focus My ideal client is an open, honest, and down-to-earth client who will share with me what is working for them and what is not. Then, I can shift gears to find what suits them best so that they get the most out of treatment. My approach I start by asking the clients what they'd like to achieve through treatment. I then assess their needs. We work from there towards their overall goals for treatment as I share what I've found with them upon assessment and my recommendations for treatment. 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.
