Hello, my name is Emily Dickson, LMSW. As a therapist specializing in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that meets clients where they are. I bring a highly empathetic and client-centered approach to my work, creating a safe, supportive environment for healing and growth.
In my practice, I also incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and play therapy techniques to tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual. My therapeutic style is integrative, flexible, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe life can feel overwhelming sometimes, and therapy gives you a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. It’s a chance to feel heard, understood, and supported, while learning tools to help you navigate whatever life throws your way.
I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, difficulties with social skills, and major life transitions. I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships and empowering young people to develop resilience, emotional regulation, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
When I'm not working, you'll often find me reading a good book or exploring the outdoors with my beagle, Margaret.
