Hi there, I'm Dawnisha!

My name is Dawnisha, and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen their emotional well-being. I provide a safe, supportive space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can take place.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and lack of motivation, offering a safe, compassionate space to be heard and supported. Using a client-centered and mindfulness-based approach that integrates CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, I help clients build confidence, emotional balance, and resilience.

My approach

My practice focuses on fostering mental strength and resilience through evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges, develop healthy coping strategies, and create lasting positive change in their lives.
