Dr. Christine E. Dickson

Welcome! I’m So Glad You’re Here. Taking the step to start therapy or coaching is a powerful choice, and I want to make sure you feel supported from day one. In our work together, we won’t just spend hours analyzing the past. Instead, we will focus on the present—giving you the practical tools, shifts in mindset, and healthy habits you need to navigate life right now. Whether you are trying to quiet racing thoughts, heal from trauma, break free from burnout, or manage conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD, you don't have to figure it out alone. A Little About My Background Because your trust matters to me, here is a bit about the experience I bring to our sessions: Deep Clinical Expertise: I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience. I hold a dual PhD in Clinical and Industrial-Organizational Psychology, which means I deeply understand both human emotion and the unique pressures of the modern workplace. Evidence-Based Tools: I have advanced post-doctoral training from UC Berkeley in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, meaning our strategies are backed by science but tailored entirely to you. Comprehensive ADHD Support: I conduct thorough psychological evaluations for both adults and children, helping you secure academic accommodations, get medication referrals if needed, and build real-world executive functioning skills. Executive & Performance Consulting: I love working with executives and entrepreneurs to bridge the gap between mental wellness and high-level professional performance. Over the last two decades, I’ve been privileged to serve people across diverse environments—from the U.S. Naval Medical Center and major hospitals like Scripps and Pomerado, to corporate settings like Wells Fargo Headquarters. Beyond my private practice, I am deeply passionate about mental health accessibility and write a free self-help blog that connects with over 50,000 readers globally. Our Partnership No matter what you are carrying into the room, my goal is to provide a safe, warm, and highly effective space where you feel genuinely heard and equipped to thrive. I look forward to working alongside you.
