Dr. Chanté Dickerson is a double board-certified psychiatrist (Adult and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, ABPN) and founder of Onward Health and Wellness. She specializes in making psychiatric care fast, accessible, and judgment-free.

After completing her psychiatry residency and child/adolescent fellowship at Creighton University, Dr. Dickerson spent years working in hospital systems and community mental health settings. She consistently saw the same problem: intelligent, motivated people couldn't access psychiatric care because of insurance delays, narrow networks, and gatekeeping.

That's why she built Onward.

Onward removes the barriers. No insurance bureaucracy. No waiting months for an appointment. No prior authorizations. Just direct access to a psychiatrist who listens, respects your time, and works with you toward clarity and stability.

Dr. Dickerson is particularly passionate about serving Black and vulnerable communities, who face the most significant psychiatric access barriers. She believes psychiatry should be available to everyone who needs it, not just those who can navigate insurance systems or pay out of pocket.

When not seeing patients, you'll find her thinking about systems change, building mental health equity into her community, or investing in her own wellness. She's based in Arizona and sees adult patients virtually across the state.
