Dericka Dotson

Welcome! My name is Dericka, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I specialize in supporting youth and young adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, aggression, and depression. I utilize a solution-focused and person-centered approach to help you build practical skills while honoring your unique voice and lived experiences.

In our first few sessions, you can expect a conversational, relaxed therapy style. Together, we’ll explore what has worked for you in the past, your current level of functioning, and your individual learning style. From there, I tailor our work in a way that fits you—creatively and intentionally—because I believe that therapy should never be one-size-fits-all.

My purpose is simple: to help you help yourself. Through skill-building, self-awareness, and meaningful conversation, we’ll work toward your goals and move closer to self-actualization.

So—what are you struggling with right now? And how can we begin applying your strengths toward healing and growth?

My approach to therapy is client-centered. I'm here to match your pace of healing.

The ultimate goal is to teach long-lasting skills and techniques to stabilize your mental health.
