I was born and raised in rural northwest Missouri. My experience has given me an understanding of the unique mental health challenges faced by individuals in small rural communities. Driven by a passion for helping others, I pursued a career in social work, earning both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Missouri State University, before earning my clinical license in social work. I strive to bring my wealth of experience to my practice, having worked in inpatient, outpatient, and in-home settings. My holistic approach allows me to connect with clients of all ages and backgrounds, helping them navigate their personal journeys towards healing and growth.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for John Dickerson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
John has been a great therapist! In the 2 sessions we've had, he's made me feel super comfortable - like I can really be myself without any judgment. He's great at listening and remembers stuff we've talked about before, which shows he really cares.
He's not just sitting there nodding - he's already given me useful tools to work with, but hasn't made me feel pushed or pressured. He's got this perfect mix of being professional but also down-to-earth and real.
