Book with me know, click on my website! While I am not seeking to only work with client's that check off these boxes, as I would like to positively impact as many people as possible, my experience has been that clients who benefit extremely well from working with me are those that are open to engaging in the work needed to see the benefits of therapy. Clients that are seeking to better understand their perspective of the world, how they fit into it, how they can fit into it, and how they can make the most of their space in the world will thrive when working with me.

Whether you are new to therapy or returning, my goal is to provide a safe space and a balanced therapeutic alliance that will promote healing and personal growth. I believe you are the expert on you, and I will support you as you work towards your goals. I view the therapeutic process as a person-centered collaboration in which clients gain new insights, build inner strength, and create desired life changes.

Sometimes, folx are concerned that their therapist is going to make them lie on a couch while they say nondescript and cryptic things like "hmmm" and "I see" and "how does that make you feel?" While I do ask the last question, I can promise that my client work is not that of the 1920s. I believe that you are the best expert on yourself and my role as your therapist is to help you uncover what you already know and put it into action. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary, but I hope you'll take that moment - perhaps after a few deep breaths - to give it a shot.

As adults, we can carry many layers of stress. Stress that can take a toll on our mental and physical wellbeing, creating tension in our personal and professional experiences, and negatively impacting our quality of life. Often, when we are in this place of limited resiliency, we can find that anxiety and/or depression can take advantage and settle in. Or we find that our relationships or parenting can seem more challenging, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or lost. If this is your experience, you're not alone. Together we can move through the stressors, build skills and resiliency; to find a path to peace and hope.

Greetings! My name is Dr. Dalicia Watson, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I received my bachelor of science degree in Psychology from North Greenville University in 2014, where my career began with servicing children and families. I furthered my educational career by receiving my Master of Social Work degree from Walden University in 2018. After receiving my master's degree, I received my doctorate of social work degree in 2022, where I was able to publish my dissertation in February 2022, "Funding Impacts on Existing Social Workers Providing Services to African American Battered Women."

I am a deep believer in the organic unfolding of our growth and purpose, and that we all possess the ability to hear our soul’s calling towards a more authentic and fulfilled life. Sometimes change is fluid, easeful and exciting. At other times, life speaks to us through crises, illness, burnout or relationship challenges… and other loud ways to make our inner voice known. Sometimes we don’t realize the guidance hidden in the chaos and we struggle to stay afloat. This is where we can use some extra support, and where I would love to help you listen in deeply… for often these difficulties hold the seeds of powerful transformation.

Seeing: clients age 15+ virtually in Maine & Florida. I specialize in helping people through: anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, body image, burnout & chronic stress, relationship stressors, and perfectionism. My approach is warm, collaborative, authentic, and non-pathologizing; I see you as a WHOLE person, not simply a diagnosis. You are the expert of your experience, and my role as your therapist is to help you tap into your inner wisdom, develop skills, find meaning and purpose, and empower you to cultivate the life you want.

I am working with clients on addressing underlying trauma and other causes of anxiety. I also specialize in working with first responders on a variety of issues. Currently, I am accepting referrals from first responders. These referrals will be prioritized. All other referrals will go on my waitlist.

I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to examine the thoughts and beliefs that keep many of us stuck in unproductive and sometimes painful patterns in our lives and relationships.

With a history in school counseling, I have transitioned to allow for individual and group counseling through both a virtual platform and in nature-based settings. My years as a percussionist have taught me that everyone has rhythm build into their bodies. Once people find their rhythm, positive life changes and natural healing can take place.
