Bio	Dr. Dickson is a clinical psychologist with a specialization in infant mental health and the treatment of trauma victims. She is a primary clinician with the Violence Intervention Program (VIP) which includes staffing the 24-hour hotline, training the police to respond to incidents involving violence and children, and providing individual treatment to children and adults. She also consults to other professionals about the effects of violence on children. In addition, Dr. Dickson is on the teaching faculty for the Harris Infant Mental Health Fellowship and is the director of the Orleans Parish Infant Team which evaluates and treats children (ages 5 and under) and their families after the children have been removed from their biological parents due to abuse and/or neglect. This team helps the courts decide what is in the best interest of the young child(ren). Dr. Dickson additionally conducts family therapy with infants, children, and their caregivers and consults to two local child protection offices. She provides supervision to residents involved in both of these programs.
