Sam Dickerson

I have worked as a professional in the addictions field since 2014 and as a licensed mental health therapist since 2023 treating individuals for a wide range of mental health disorders in both the outpatient and inpatient level. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am trained in CBT-SUD (cognitive behavior therapy for substance use disorder) as well as Motivational Interviewing / Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I am trained in CBT for depression and currently treat individuals experiencing symptoms from mental health disorders such as anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mood disorders. My approach is broad and person centered, as each individual life is unique. Your past, your belief system and your current situation and goals all matter when we design the most appropriate pathway to treatment for you.

I typically work from a cognitive behavioral perspective to help clients understand the relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. More importantly, I believe in uncovering core beliefs that are not serving my clients to live and enjoy thier lives to the fullest and operate as their best selves. Together we can work to identify these, and other root causes, either using CBT or another psychoanalytic modality.

I take a client centered approach to each individual I work with. I work together with my client to identify their individual goals and offers ways to get there that are evidence based and proven effective. Each individual is unique and I pride myself at being inquisitive and considerate enough to understand the whole picture as we move through the clients therapy journey.
