Dawn Nance

My communication style

I provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where open, honest communication can thrive. My commitment is to offer a safe space grounded in empathy, active listening, and unconditional acceptance. While compassion is always at the heart of our work, I also believe in being direct and will gently challenge you when it serves your growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My professional journey began volunteering at a domestic violence shelter, which helped me realize my calling: supporting others in making meaningful, positive changes. I worked with adults who had experienced childhood trauma, which deeply shaped me and fueled my passion for supporting individuals impacted by trauma.

My goals for you

I like to think of therapy as a journey we take together. We'll work side by side toward the destination you've set as your goal. I serve as a guide—bringing knowledge, tools, and therapeutic interventions to support you along the way. It's natural for goals to evolve as you grow, and when they do, we'll collaborate to adjust your treatment plan.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin building a connection. You'll have space to share your background, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the process. We'll also review what to expect from therapy, discuss confidentiality and boundaries, and begin outlining a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
