Dr. Nancy Dawson

I'm a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and PsyD with 20 years of clinical experience. I specialize in working with adults, older adults (65+), and seniors, including those facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and major life transitions. My practice is faith-informed and grounded in Christian counseling, with deep respect for each client's unique background and beliefs. I also have specialized expertise in geriatric mental health and neuropsychological/ADHD testing, including published research on the connection between fear and dementia.

I use an integrative, whole-person framework, looking at the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of your life to understand what's driving your struggles and build a clear path forward. Depending on your needs, I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Strength-Based approaches.We often begin with a psychological evaluation to inform a personalized care plan, then set concrete goals in each domain. Clients have reported symptom reduction, achievement of their personal goals, and stronger coping skills long after treatment ends.

Our first session is a collaborative conversation where I'll ask about what brought you in, your history, and your goals, and we'll determine together whether we're a good fit. You'll leave with a clearer sense of direction. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before your first session, and all sessions are conducted via secure video/telehealth.
