I have been seeing Dr. McCarty for a couple years now and I can not express enough how much she has helped. She has listened and truly made such educated decisions on which medications I should be on. She has always given me her full attention during every session. She takes time to get to know her patients so that she can truly help figure out the problem. I’ve had great experiences and I’m so thankful for Dr. McCarty.

*Note that prior to the first session taking place with the provider, LifeStance will require a credit card on file.
My name is Dawn McCarty, and I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of healthcare experience. I take a holistic approach to care and specialize in dual diagnosis and medication management. Areas of special interest include addiction, PTSD, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and schizophrenia.
The first step toward healing begins with an accurate diagnosis, followed by proper medication management. Together, we can work to harness your inner strengths, learn new coping skills, and break down barriers that prevent you from living your best life.
I earned my Bachelor's degree from Xavier University and my Master's in Nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University.

Wonderful doctor PLEASEEEEE see her don’t look any further. She is amazing & will listen to your every concern.

I recommend her 100000x’s.

couldn't be happier. I felt like I had a safe place to communicate, and she was so positive /reassuring. I am looking forward to my next appointment.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Only one appointment and I already feel like my hope is restored! Dr.McCarty really cares and wants to find answers for you and get you feeling better. I have always had OCD, but never found the courage to seek help, until now. She gave me the strength and guidance I needed to start my medicine. Thank you, can’t wait to feel like myself again.
February 7, 2023Lacey F.Verified patientVideo visit
Great, hopeful energy, which is what you’re likely looking for with mental health care. Very experienced from what I gathered. I feel at ease and have never been more confident in the treatment therapies we are working on.

Dawn is wonderful. She listens, she gives some advice but lets me figure out what I should do. We are dealing with some sleeping issues and she is working with me to get this issue solved.
December 7, 2022Patricia M.Verified patientVideo visit
great doctor and staff
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Dawn is amazing! I never had someone that actually READ my medical history and took my symptoms into account. While I understand that misdiagnosis is possible, she looked into the trends I was experiencing with my medication, and got it right on the first try. I cannot recommend her enough, and she keeps me informed and is sure to answer all of my questions as they come up.
November 1, 2022Alexandria H.Verified patientVideo visit
Dawn was great. The contact from LifeStance and Zocdoc was confusing and required a phone call to clarify and install the VSee app. The texts in the days prior to the appointment stated that Dawn would contact me by email to set up the tech details but the email did not arrive.
October 31, 2022James B.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr McCarty is so easy to talk to. She is kind and caring and takes time explaining things so I fully understand what the current plan is. Being able to do virtual visits is such a convenience and saves me time being offline at work. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent psychiatric care!
September 28, 2022Richard M.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. McCarthy was very thorough, and she knew exactly what I was experiencing and was able to help me in a timely manner. She made me feel at ease and I will definitely be scheduling future visits with her. Thank you!

Dawn was very compassionate and a great listener. She is very knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend her to new clients.

August 4, 2022Diana S.Verified patientVideo visit

June 29, 2022Isadora P.Verified patientVideo visit
I’ve been a patient of Dawn’s since late January and I’m definitely sad to have to switch providers because I’m moving. Dawn takes her time, understands concerns, and it definitely shows she cares for her patients. I highly recommend her and will go back to seeing her if I chose to move back to Florida!

Dawn takes the time to understand your condition, what you're experiencing, and formulates a plan to treat any issue you may have. I've been struggling with depression and grief since the loss of a family member last year, and with the help of a grief counselor and appropriate changes to my meds recommended by Dawn, I'm starting to feel like myself again
May 2, 2022Matthew P.Verified patientVideo visit
The doctor took the time to listen to my concerns and then recommend appropriate action. Would highly recommend her. She knows what she is doing.
March 30, 2022Initials hiddenVideo visit
She is very personable, knowledgeable, and listens well. I really liked getting to know her and I really appreciate the time she took to meet with me! Would definitely recommend her and just wish I'd found her sooner!
