Shanae Dawson
As a therapist, my goal is to help you reach your goals. I offer therapeutic services by becoming a safe space to provide non judgmental guidance and support. My approach to counseling reflects your needs as you are the center of the therapeutic relationship. Life can be challenging, but you don't have to go through life's journey on your own. I have several years of experience working with adolescents, adults and couples in various settings. Allow me to assist you in navigating stressors, parenting, depression, anxiety, change, addiction, PTSD, trauma, esteem, behaviors, loss or trauma to enhance your well being, improve coping and problem solving.
My relaxed but focused approach helps you explore challenges honestly, build insight, and make lasting changes in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
I would love to support you in meeting your needs.
First session
The first session is about laying a foundation for trust and understanding. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, what you hope to work on, and what to expect from therapy—no pressure, just a supportive place to start.
Strengths
With a grounded and compassionate style, I create a space where clients feel at ease and understood. My relaxed but focused approach helps you explore challenges honestly, build insight, and make lasting changes in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
Ideal clients
I work with individuals who are open to self-reflection and growth, especially during times of anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or transition. All backgrounds are welcome. Together, we’ll create a safe, collaborative space to explore challenges and move toward meaningful change.
