My name is Dawn Butterfield and I have been Licensed as a LPC since October 2025 and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor since 2019. I have a masters in psychology, education and Mental Health Counseling certificate. I am focusing on co-occuring disorders, depression, anxiety and other disorders that individuals are struggling with through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. I work with clients to focus on psychological problems which are based on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking patterns, behaviours so that they can work on more positive coping strategies in their lives to relieve symptoms.
In the first session, I will work with you to briefly describe your current issues and what your expectations are for therapy. Then you define the goals of your therapy and make a therapy plan together. The plan can be adjusted if your personal goals change over the course of therapy.
