Getting to know Dawn Broggi-Sumner
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve struggled to find a space where you truly feel understood. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and non-judgmental environment where you can show up fully as yourself.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions, as well as those in LGBTQ+ and polyamorous relationships. I provide trans-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and relationship-affirming therapy, and I am committed to creating a space where your identity and experiences are respected and supported.
Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. Whether you're navigating ADHD challenges, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, or major life transitions, we work together to better understand patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I aim to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered — while building tools you can use in your daily life.
Specialties and Areas of Focus:
- Anxiety and stress
- ADHD in adults
- Trauma and trauma-informed therapy
- LGBTQ+ affirming therapy
- Trans-affirming care
- Polyamory and non-traditional relationships
- Life transitions and identity exploration
- Burnout and emotional overwhelm
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients often describe my style as warm, affirming, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your identity, relationships, or experiences.
I work from a trauma-informed and collaborative approach, helping you explore patterns, understand your experiences, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges.
Whether you're navigating ADHD, trauma, identity exploration, polyamory, or anxiety, I tailor therapy to your needs and goals. Some clients come to therapy looking for deeper emotional processing, while others want concrete strategies and coping skills — we can do both.
I understand that many clients have had previous therapy experiences that didn’t fully meet their needs. My goal is to create a supportive, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, we focus on getting to know you — your goals, your experiences, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. We’ll also talk about what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past and begin identifying priorities for our work together.
From there, sessions typically involve:
- Exploring current challenges and stressors
- Identifying patterns and triggers
- Processing emotions and past experiences
- Building coping strategies and practical tools
- Supporting identity exploration and relationship dynamics
Because therapy is individualized, sessions may look different depending on your needs. Some sessions may focus on processing trauma or anxiety, while others may involve building ADHD-friendly strategies, improving communication, or navigating relationships.
My goal is to create a collaborative, affirming space where you feel supported while working toward meaningful and sustainable change.
