Dickson Psychiatric Services + Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy — Ketamine Clinic in Minneapolis, MN

Dr. Dickson is a true professional. When there was trouble time and again with my insurance, enough that anyone else would have simply dropped me and moved on, he worked with the company to find a solution that let me get the treatment I need. Beyond that, it's the small touches that make the experience friendly and comfortable. Ginger candy to get rid of the post nasal taste of spravato. Calm music. A humidifier. Offers to work around the bus schedule I need to use. I overslept for an appointment and he called me to check to make sure I was OK. He's been endlessly eager to make sure I'm comfortable and satisfied. This is not a review of Spravato or Ketamine. They've been great, but there are plenty of options for providers. What I'm saying is that Dr. Dickson's professionalism and bedside (couchside?) manner is uniquely beneficial to that experience. Ketamine is still frontier medicine at the moment, and powerful enough as to demand respect. You want a tool like that in the hands an expert; a person who will try to align every possible factor in your favor.

Mr. Dickson offers trauma informed care and services. His knowledge of medications and how they work together is extensive. He understands co-occuring disorders and all the different psychological diagnosis. He offers many types of therapy and I don't know exactly where I would be without him. He has literally CHANGED my life, and the lives of people close to me as well. Happy mom, happy kids! He always leads me to great solutions and conclusions and I value my time with him immensely.

I've been a patient of Dr Dickson for several years. I have had the best experience with him and would continue to see him if I was not moving out of the area. I have always felt listened to, and been treated with kindness and respect by him. He has always worked extremely well in cooperation with the rest of my care team. I could not recommend him enough!

Dr. Dickson's expertise is unparalleled. He consistently demonstrates a willingness to exceed expectations for his patients and I always feel confident that I will be able to reach him when necessary. I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Dickson for the last two and a half years and I consistently find myself impressed by his personable and professional demeanor. He possesses a remarkable ability to recall details about my life and history as though talking with an old friend. He is an exceptional listener and very intelligent. This, coupled with his genuine care for his patients and his down-to-earth approach, lead to a sense of safety and comfort for his patients. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dickson for his exceptional services.

Todd is so very easy to talk to. I've been with him for years and would truly be at a loss without him. He is an exceptional listener. Anyone would be blessed to be in his care

Receiving care for psychotherapy and medication management the last 3 1/2 years; Todd takes the practice of individualized care and through listening and learning about each client develops a care plan. He is thorough and by learning about the clients history, concerns, and needs; meets you where you are at. He is quick to respond, extremely intelligent and well informed in all areas of those he specializes within. He provides attentive care to his clients. You will never leave a session without a solid plan moving forward. If questions or concerns arise between appointments you are reassured that any immediate need may be communicated back to him. He's a rare provider that I would highly recommend to care for patients utilizing common to complex psychiatric services. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found him at a time in my life when I really needed a provider to see me as a whole person vs a list of symptoms and diagnosis.
