Hi there, I'm LaDawn!

I start where you are. My approach is simple: therapy works when you're ready for change. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are in your journey, with compassion and without judgment.

My focus

I started my career with court-order clients, which has provided me with almost a decade's worth of diverse experiences working with people from every walk of life, a wide range of mental health diagnoses, and severe trauma survivors. My focus in sessions is on post-traumatic growth and learning self-awareness on how to grow.

My approach

My first approach is to see what is motivating my clients to reach out for assistance in their lives. I want to give them praise for having had the courage to take the first step, which is to act on the self-awareness that, as humans, we need help sometimes. I have many different therapeutic modalities, CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR.

My communication style

I strive to keep my communication style always professional and will vary according to the age, communication style, and preference of the client. I put my energy into creating a relaxed, humor-filled environment where clients feel safe to show their humanness and vulnerabilities. I feel I have a kind and compassionate communication style.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to better understand and manage my own intense emotions. Once I learned to help myself, I wanted to share those tools with others. Every client I work with is an opportunity to make the world more peaceful.

My goals for you

I take a direct approach to goal setting and education. Encouraging the client towards a healthy growth mindset and developing actionable steps in achieving healthy life goals. Clients will be taught tools to use to achieve their goals and work with the client to find the best approach to take with them in order for them to be successful.

Our first session

I believe in honesty and full transparency so there are no surprises. I'll educate you about the therapeutic process and set realistic expectations. Therapy requires work in building self-awareness and taking actionable steps toward a healthy mind and lifestyle.
