Dawna Prostak

Welcome! I have over 25 years experience in helping individuals and couples improve relationships, anxiety, parenting struggles, narcissistic abuse, pain of infertility, and women’s issues. I graduated from the University of Central Florida and started out in community mental health before I began counseling at a large church followed by my current private practice. I work primarily with adults but also see older teen girls. Are you stuck in unhealthy relational patterns? Are you a stressed out parent or maybe you just need a safe place to process life. Reach out and we can chat about how I can help.

My clients would say that I’m warm but not afraid to challenge, tender but direct. While I have a Christian practice, I meet people where they are and include faith at your comfort level and desire. I believe we are wounded through relationship and healed by it as well. Therefore, I believe our therapeutic relationship is central to our time together. We will explore the past as it relates to the present and most likely laugh a little along the way. With couples, I pull from my training in The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

My hope is to put you at ease within the first session because I know therapy can feel overwhelming. We will spend time getting to know one another while exploring your goals and what changes you’d like to see when your counseling has ended.
