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."

"Everything is so much better in my life because of your help."

"I really like how you are able to pivot from practical and tactical to going deep and understanding the psychology behind behaviors."
