Joseph C. Dickson, LCSW

When you are hurting, frightened, angry, confused, failing at a life task, or just wanting some objective input, you need a psychotherapist who is well-trained and highly experienced.

You also need to be comfortable with the therapist, the approach he uses, and the fees he asks.

I meet all of these requirements. I received my graduate degree from the School of Clinical Social Work at the University of Southern California.

I am National Board Certified in Clinical Social Work, and have been in private practice for 37 years in the San Gabriel Valley. I have taught at USC and Cal State University Schools of Social Work.

I have heard almost every personal story and explored almost every relational situation. I am interactive and supportive in the sessions, and use an easily understood Cognitive Behavioral approach in helping my clients address their issues.

The office is comfortable and wheel chair accessible. Fees are reasonable and health insurance is accepted.

When you call, we take a few moments on the telephone to become acquainted, and to get a sense of what you are looking for. You will have complete confidentiality from the moment of our first contact.

Our lives, including our problems, are unique to each of us, and yet we are all remarkably the same. There is nothing that surprises me. Nothing disturbs my respect and positive regard for my clients.

With other clients, I have been where you are. You can expect to be understood very early in the process. You will find I listen, never judge, and always offer some strategies that are helpful.

Call me at (626) 445-3862. Be patient with the voice mail. I always return calls in a timely fashion. If it is urgent, you may page me. If you choose, email me by using the Contact Us page.

Self disclosure is never easy, but it is the first step to resolution and healing. Do not procrastinate. Care enough to give yourself this opportunity. Make the call today.
