Dawn Amram, LICSW — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Dawn!

I pride myself on creating an environment where everyone can be their authentic self, feel safe to express their thoughts, and be their guide in navigating challenging times in their lives.

My focus

I now specialize in adult and couples work surrounding major life stressors and transitions, and am an LGBTQ+ Ally.

My approach

I specialize in working with both individuals and couples. I take an approach focused on healthy communication and attachment-based therapy. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, in working with individuals and symptoms of anxiety and stress.

My communication style

I have an interactive and direct approach to communication with clients, asking open-ended questions and providing a general warmth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a kind, empathetic person who takes an active role in listening to others and providing guiding feedback. I worked with families and individuals supporting their growth and healing.

My goals for you

I assist client in rediscovering their own internal potential, identifying barriers to their goals and ideal lives.

Our first session

In a first session, we would review reasons for seeking care, gather information and history regarding the client's experiences, and talk about the client's needs and expectations for care.
