Clinician Highlight
Meet Emma!
Emma Terres Dickerson, LSW, RYT
Emma Terres Dickerson, LSW, RYT is a licensed therapist and trauma-informed yoga teacher who earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The Ohio State University. She supports women and couples in healing from trauma and anxiety to create healthier, more secure relationships with themselves and others.
Many of her clients struggle to regulate their emotions, live with a constant sense of tension in their bodies, and find themselves repeating harmful patterns stemming from childhood or past relationships. Emma’s approach is warm and collaborative, grounded in the belief that healing happens when you feel safe in your body and in control of your mind.
In sessions, Emma helps you tune into the signals your body is giving, understand the different “parts” within you, restructure negative thought patterns, and gently uncover how old survival strategies are creating barriers in your life today. Together, you’ll explore how past pain shows up in your relationships, while learning to regulate emotions, reconnect with yourself, and create more secure and fulfilling connections.
Outside of work, Emma finds joy by staying active, spending time in nature (weather permitting in Ohio), traveling, and cooking.
Emma sees clients Monday-Thursday. She is currently under the supervision of Abby Sillaman, LISW-S.

What is one of your Top 10 bucket list items?
“Number one on my bucket list might have to be traveling to every country in the world. I love traveling and spent 6 months in Cameroon with the Peace Corps before becoming a therapist. I just have 185 countries to go, no big deal. ”
Would you rather have someone create a painting, song, poem, novel or movie about you?
“ I think a painting would be really nice. My story isn’t complete yet so a book or movie doesn’t feel appropriate yet (: "
What do you like to do in your spare time?
“I am an avid learner, so you can find me reading in my spare time or watching interviews on YouTube. I love trying new recipes and new experiences, spending time with my husband, being outside, or moving my body. I love binging a juicy crime series on Netflix, too. ”
What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation, non work related?
“Non-work related is tough because there are many aspects of my work that trickle down into so many of my interests. Probably something to do with skin care, it is definitely a huge interest of mine! ”
What is your go to snack?
“Probably something with peanut butter. I have a huge sweet tooth! ”
