Laura Dickson, LCSW
Is fear running your
life? Do you avoid people or situations because of fear? Do you long
for friends or a partner but have trouble making those connections? Do
self-doubts hold you back from many of life’s opportunities?
Anxiety, panic, and
self-doubt can prevent you from living the life that you want and
deserve.
These may be old
fears rooted in childhood hurts and traumas. They may be specific fears
like elevators, airplanes, or spiders.
Or, they may be generalized fears about almost anything or everything.
I specialize in helping people who feel burdened and limited by fear.
In my fifteen years
in private practice, I have gravitated towards this specialization
because I have a natural, intuitive sense of this overwhelming feeling
that can be so limiting; and because my clients so consistently
demonstrate an unusual rate of relief and recovery.
I received my
graduate training at the School of Clinical Social Work at California
State University at Long Beach. My subsequent training in clinical
hypnosis and EMDR further developed my skills and effectiveness. I am a
Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Consultant/Certified EMDR
Therapist.
When you call, we will take a
few moments on the telephone to become acquainted, and to get a sense
of what you are needing. You will have complete confidentiality from
the moment of our first contact.
In treatment, we carefully assess
what is driving your fear, and make a focused strategy to neutralize
the force it has in your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
I am interactive and supportive
in the sessions, and use the Cognitive Behavioral Model coupled with
EMDR to help you find relief. For more information about EMDR please go
to EMDR
Therapists Network.
If you would like to ask a question or make an appointment call me
at(626)445-3862. Be patient with the voice mail. I always return calls
in a timely fashion.
Looking forward to talking with you.
