Dawn Odonell, LP

Psychologist
TX
My name is Dawn O'Donnell, and I am a licensed psychologist (PhD) from the University of Louisiana, with an undergraduate RN (RNC) and a post-doctorate in trauma therapy (CCTP). I work with all ages using cognitive behavioral therapy and some elements of dialectical behavioral therapy. I take a patient-centered approach to best achieve the goals of therapy. My approach I use modalities of cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as motivational interviewing and dialectical behavioral therapy, incorporating the three modalities of total health: physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. My focus I especially enjoy working with trauma clients and being available to the underserved population. My practice generally includes a variety of clients, including those with depression, anxiety, organic diagnoses, and PTSD. Because of my medical background, I also incorporate healthy living and support for individuals with health disabilities. My communication style I like to get to know each client and allow them to express themselves freely in a secure, non-judgmental therapeutic environment. The initial session includes questions to gain a clear understanding of what the client needs to be successful. I encourage clients to ask questions and keep lists of topics they would like to address in subsequent sessions. My journey to mental healthcare Early in my career as an RN, I was an obstetrical nurse in a small rural hospital and saw firsthand how limited good care was in low socioeconomic areas. As I continued my education and moved into management, I realized that the clinical setting was my passion. I have since worked in an underserved area for the past 18 years. Seeing someone achieve goals they may never have reached without assistance is a huge reward. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative effort based on what the client expects from therapy and my clinical assessment of their needs.
