Dawn Maurer

I work with people who are carrying a lot on their shoulders—whether it’s anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, or living with an intellectual disability. I’m Dawn, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. Many of my clients feel exhausted from taking care of everyone else while pushing their own needs aside. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, be honest about how you’re really doing, and start to feel more grounded, understood, and hopeful about your next steps.

For the past 6 years, I’ve supported Veterans in accessing mental health care and worked with adolescents and adults through Children’s Division (Child Protective Services). These experiences shaped my approach to be patient, adaptable, and deeply compassionate. In our sessions, we’ll collaborate on a treatment plan, check in regularly on your goals, and adjust as we learn what works best for you.

If you’re feeling ready—even just a little bit—to ask for support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Our first session is a chance for me to learn your story, understand what you’ve been through, and hear what you’d like to be different in your life. You don’t have to have the perfect words; you just have to show up. If this resonates with you, please reach out to schedule a session so we can take that first step together.
