Getting to know Dawn Blake
My name is Dawn Blake, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of New England. I take a relaxed approach to therapy, meeting you where you are currently. I use a wide variety of techniques—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based/Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy. I consider myself eclectic, drawing from what best fits each client’s needs.
My approach varies depending on the client, though I often prefer Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Strengths-Based/Solution-Focused methods. Since clients present with different needs, therapy can’t be “one size fits all.”
I work well with a broad range of ages and populations—from children to the elderly—and with those facing co-occurring disorders, life changes, anxiety, and schizophrenia. All are welcome.
I tailor my communication style to each client, meeting them where they are and matching my tone to what feels most comfortable. My sessions are judgment-free zones designed to foster meaningful conversation and help clients feel at ease so they can move forward in their lives.
Originally, I saw myself in the criminal justice field but chose to branch into mental health instead, which led me to social work and becoming a clinician. I enjoy talking with people and helping them realize their own potential, even when they can’t see it yet.
My goal is to understand what you want to get out of therapy and what you’d like to work on—therapy is your time, and you know best what you want to accomplish.
Our first session will be relaxed and welcoming, giving you the chance to ask questions and for us to get to know each other as we explore potential next steps.
