Getting to know Melissa Dickinson

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker (LSCW) in Pennsylvania. I have been working in Outpatient Mental Health Therapy for 9 years. My focus is on helping people work through difficult events that have occured in their life and helping them move through the healing process. I am certified in Trauma-Focussed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and adolescents. I also use trauma focussed skills while working with adults. I also have completed training in Adoption and Foster care (TAC), which is important to me since I am adopted.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She was friendly, but I feel like I didn’t get much out of our session. I was really excited to talk to someone else who was adopted and talk to someone who may have more insight as a therapist and adoptee on adoptee issues and traumas, but it felt more like just swapping stories and learning about her some of her experience. She listened to what I had to say, she was a nice person, but it wasn’t the right fit for me. She emphasized how finding the right fit is important, which I completely agree with - I was just disappointed that she wasn’t the fit.
