Jawan Dickerson-Escobar

I believe the greatest relationship one could ever have is the one with themselves. Oftentimes, we tend to get lost in the expectations of our families, society, culture, relationships, religion, etc., and find ourselves unhappy with the person staring back at us. Regardless of which of these feels true, the journey to yourself can be scary, uncertain, and uncomfortable; however, not impossible. Together, with you in mind, I aim to serve as a guide to assist you with healing past hurts by helping you become more self-aware; accepting and trusting your feelings and experiences; alleviating your distress; and living an authentic life.

As a facilitator of growth and change, I practice from an eclectic approach. Conceptualizing the whole client, my approach is honest and direct, and infused with techniques from Gestalt, CBT, DBT, and ACT. If you’re comfortable with a push and a challenge, our partnership in developing and maintaining a safe and effective relationship will be the foundation.

I believe in meeting you where you are, regardless of what that looks or feels like for you. I want you to know that I am proud of you for making this step, whether it's your first or fifth time in therapy; each time is allowed to feel different. If you're ready or unsure about your readiness, let's talk and we'll muddle over the details together.
