Empowering

I am a licensed therapist with 15 years of experience working with adults who are facing mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and pre-/post-pregnancy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to share their story. With an individualized treatment plan that meets the client where they are and the goals they wish to accomplish. Most clients report that they experience symptom relief, understand their triggers, and have developed healthier coping skills over time.

First session

At our first session, I strive to create a welcoming environment. I will be introducing myself and provide you with some information about myself and my professional experience. I will also discuss my practice policies, confidentiality, and our contract for therapy. Then I will be collecting information from you, along with your completed intake package, to ensure I clearly understand what brought you to therapy and your goal/s for treatment.

Strengths

If I were to pick my greatest strengths, I would say my problem-solving skills and my ability to make my clients feel comfortable sharing their stories. My client says I am very genuine and they feel very comfortable knowing that I am nonjudgmental; however, more importantly, with my guidance, they have experienced improvement with their mental health over time.

Ideal clients

My prospective clients are those who are intentional about embarking on their journey to improved mental health.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used CBT to help my clients understand how their thought patterns may affect their mood and their behavior. As an experienced therapist, I have used this treatment method with my clients to identify cognitive distortions or negative thought patterns that may be contributing to their emotional distress. I will then guide and empower my client to consider using techniques to take control of their thoughts and behaviors. Leading to emotional and their overall mental health.

Dionne is warm and inviting, creating a no-judgment zone—very empathetic and understanding. I tried two sessions, but struggled to form a deeper connection. The conversations felt surface-level, often jumping between topics with little focus. As someone seeking help for depression and anxiety, I hoped for more in-depth, targeted conversations to address root causes. Dionne is kind, but I personally needed a more structured, focused approach.

Dionne create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where I feel comfortable opening up. Her guidance has helped me gain better understanding of myself and develop healthier ways to cope with challenges. I truly appreciate their patience, professionalism, and genuine care for my well-being. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, encouraged, and more confident in moving forward. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking support and growth.
