Jawan Dickerson-Escobar

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I believe the greatest relationship one could ever have is the one with themselves. Oftentimes, we tend to get lost in the expectations of our families, society, culture, relationships, religion, etc., and find ourselves unhappy with the person staring back at us. Regardless of which of these feels true, the journey to yourself can be scary, uncertain, and uncomfortable; however, not impossible. Together, with you in mind, I aim to serve as a guide to assist you with healing past hurts by helping you become more self-aware; accepting and trusting your feelings and experiences; alleviating your distress; and living an authentic life.
