Dawn Marrero, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dawn!

I empower women to nurture their well-being through a holistic approach integrating soul, mind, and body. This is supported by a stronger connection with God, increased self-awareness, and embracing your authentic truth. I encourage you to embrace your emotions without shame and begin healing.

My focus

I typically team with clients who are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, stress, substance abuse, life transitions, relationships, and trauma. My approaches have guided children, teens, young adults, individuals, and families to identify healthy self-care routines and coping skills to become more resilient, reach their goals, and thrive.

My approach

I take a holistic approach to mental health, utilizing evidence-based treatments with a Christian focus. We explore healthy habits, engage in soul work, clarify priorities, and identify strengths. Techniques include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Biblical guidance, nutritional assessments, and mindfulness practices.

My communication style

With the use of assertive communication, active listening, and compassion, I create a comfortable environment that is non-judgmental for you to feel safe discussing experiences. Through these discussions, you can help me identify your growth needs, and we can move forward in trying new things together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds in non-profit, public, and government settings, helping them navigate challenging emotions and life situations. Transitioning into mental health care deepened my passion for witnessing the positive transformations clients achieve.

My goals for you

My goal would be for us to establish a strong working relationship and set a foundation of trust. We'll use our conversations to develop a personalized treatment plan, cultivate new skills, and support your progress. As we move forward, this will look like reviewing measures and treatment goals to ensure we're on track to meet your objectives.

Our first session

In our first session, we will complete the intake assessment, explore your unique needs, and discuss what has prompted you to seek support during this season of your life. At the same time, we will determine if we make a great team by getting to know each other and establishing a positive therapeutic connection.
