My name is Lauren Dicks and I am an independently licensed social worker. I work as a clinical therapist and have 14 years of work experience in mental health. I prioritize diversity and enjoys working with all age groups. I am certified in herbal medicine and can offer consultations on herbal medicine. I am also working towards earning a certification in EMDR therapy. I am yogi and certified to teach yoga. I love people and I would enjoy the opportunity to work with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session would allow me to gather background information on how best to help you achieve your therapeutic goals such as family background, support systems, mental health symptoms your currently experiencing, mental health past, etc. This information helps me best understand how to help you achieve your goals in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are being open-minded, an attentive listener and creating a space where client's are welcome to be their true authentic selves.
