Getting to know Melissa Dickinson

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from PennWest California. I have been working in outpatient mental health therapy for 9 years. My focus is on helping people work through difficult events that have occurred in their lives and supporting them through the healing process. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and adolescents and also use trauma-focused skills when working with adults. Additionally, I have completed training in Adoption and Foster Care (TAC), which is especially meaningful to me since I am adopted. I have extensive training in grief, anxiety, depression, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Looking forward to working with you!

More information on payments and coverage

After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
