Dimica Lawrence

Dimica is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been working with adults and groups of people for several years. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from East Carolina University, she went on to complete her Master’s of Social Work at North Carolina State University by way of their Advanced Standing Program.

Dimica can be described as a “compassionately confronting” therapist who enjoys working with individuals to move toward deeper understanding and connection with themselves. Dimica has an interest in supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, emotional disturbances, trauma, and relational conflict. Her clinical perspective is heavily framed by Emotionally Focused Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Somatic Attachment. Dimica is also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is a modality similar to EMDR used to address complex trauma and distress. She always makes it a priority to learn and keep her toolbox eclectic.

Through both personal and professional experiences, Dimica has cultivated a flexible and shameless approach–always meeting clients where they are in their process. Dimica allows her clients to lead their journey of mental and emotional wellness while she walks beside them. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort, knowing that clients are the experts in their own lives and relationships. Through the provision of psycho-education and incorporating appropriate evidence-based practices, she strives to help clients increase their self-awareness, emotional granularity, and interpersonal effectiveness. Emphasizing motivational interviewing and a strengths-based approach, Dimica supports her clients in experiencing their power within their lives.
