Testimonials for Dr. Christine E. Dickson
""I value every minute of our sessions. It was just my best luck in a long time when you took me as a client. My expectation was that you'd help me survive the last few months with minimal damage. I not only survived, I am happier and healthier now than I can remember. I would not have got here alone or with any therapist I've seen before.""You are brilliant. Thank you for being in my life."
“You've done more for me in 2 sessions than my other therapist did in 1 year."
"I really like how you are able to pivot from practical and tactical to going deep and understanding the psychology behind behaviors."
