Getting to know Dawn Knight

I am Dawn Knight, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Master of Education in Counseling from Alfred University. My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and strength-based. I focus on individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other diagnoses that may cause them to feel stuck in overcoming and managing certain areas of their lives. My approach The most common approaches I use are person-centered, brief, solution-focused, and strength-based. However, I always tailor my approach to the individual to create a unique experience in treatment. My focus I typically provide treatment to high-functioning adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance use, and PTSD. My communication style As a therapist, my aim is to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing parts of themselves they do not typically disclose to others. This openness allows them to invest fully in their treatment. My goal is for clients to feel heard and understood while receiving a unique therapeutic experience. My journey to therapy I was drawn to becoming a therapist because I have always been passionate about helping people. I have long understood the importance and value of having someone who genuinely listens and cares. What drives me is witnessing clients choose vulnerability, discussing their most uncomfortable moments as they commit to healing, and seeing them apply their work to everyday life to create meaningful change. My goals for you I listen carefully to my clients as they share their struggles and collaborate with them to identify the goals they want to work on. My first session with you In our first session, you can expect to discuss what brought you to therapy, as well as your family, therapeutic, and relationship history. We will also explore the goals you would like to work on together.
