Getting to know Dawn Darnell

Hi there, I'm Dawn! Hello, my name is Dawn, and I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed addiction counselor. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Naropa University and have been working in the mental health field for the past 12 years. My approach My therapeutic approach could best be described as "eclectic." I tend to utilize what's most appropriate for each client and dependent on the presenting issues. My background and training are rooted in Buddhist psychology, but I also incorporate modalities such as CBT, DBT, MI, Gestalt, and transpersonal hypnotherapy. My focus I have worked with a variety of clients facing challenges including addiction, trauma, OCD, ADHD, relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My communication style My communication style is direct and honest. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be a place of security and safety, where clients feel comfortable knowing I bring my most transparent self to the conversation. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been the person in my group that friends came to for advice and feedback. I thoroughly enjoy helping others and appreciate learning more about life and the human experience through each exchange. My goals for you I believe goals are important. I like to set targets at the beginning of our sessions so we can gauge progress throughout our time together. My first session with you The first few sessions are about getting to know each other and determining if this will be a working collaboration. I value your input and welcome your insights about what will be most helpful for your therapy.
