Ashika Dickerson
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
At On Mental Health Matters, I believe that exceptional mental health care is built on trust, compassion, and individualized treatment. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting emotional wellness.
I'm passionate about caring for the whole person, and I understand how daunting seeking mental healthcare can be. With more than 25 years of healthcare experience and advanced training as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management and supportive psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand your story, identify the root causes of your symptoms, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle.

Chesapeake Behavioral Health Serivces
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, LCPC
Life is complicated, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. We believe the relationship you have with your therapist matters just as much as the techniques they use. Our goal is to help you find a therapist who understands your experiences, challenges you when needed, and creates a space where real change can happen.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.
