I’m Dawn Adler, LISW-S, MPPM. I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space where every person—regardless of background—is valued, supported, and seen for their innate goodness. My work is grounded in the belief that each individual has a unique purpose, a spark of potential, and the ability to grow, heal, and elevate their life. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. In our sessions, I offer a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can share openly and reconnect with the strengths already within you. I especially enjoy working with individuals who value genuine connection and are interested in personal growth, emotional resilience, and cultivating a meaningful life. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, strengthen what’s already good inside you, and work toward becoming the most aligned, grounded, and empowered version of yourself—at a pace that feels right for you.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you’ll have space to share what’s been on your heart, and we’ll begin by recognizing the inherent strength, dignity, and goodness within you. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing with compassion and curiosity, focusing on uncovering the inner resources already inside you. Our work will center on supporting your growth, clarity, and the sense of wholeness you deserve to feel.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths include my deep belief in every person’s inherent goodness, resilience, and potential to grow—even when they can’t see it in themselves yet. I lead with genuine warmth, compassion, and presence, offering a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients feel valued and uplifted. I approach each session with intention, humility, and a commitment to helping clients uncover their inner light and move toward a more grounded, meaningful, and empowered version of themselves.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to work with clients who are open to sharing and reflecting on their experiences, who want to feel truly supported, and who value a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship. I enjoy partnering with individuals who are motivated to explore their inner strengths, uncover their inherent goodness, and take intentional steps toward healing, growth, and living a life aligned with their purpose. My work resonates with those who are committed to cultivating resilience, clarity, and a sense of meaning in their daily lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I regularly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a structured, evidence-based approach to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
