Getting to know Dawn Palumbo-Madera

The core values that guide me both personally and professionally are honesty, humor, and courage. I like to work collaboratively with my clients to address their mental health issues. Together, we will practice opening up and exploring rather than forcing possibilities. You are the expert on yourself and are in full control of how therapy proceeds. My work is rooted in trust, humor, and toughness. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support my clients effectively. I truly value holding a trusting and safe space for my clients to complete therapeutic work and consider it an honor to serve each of them in their journeys of discovery, change, and healing.

My therapist really listens
Had two sessions with her and she somehow made both about herself. I tried opening up about my history with my alcoholic father and she just talked about her recovering from being an alcoholic. Anything else I told her I just felt like she repeated it back to me with a few added words.

It’s taking a lot of courage for me to set this appointment. My family’s been bugging me about it for a long time and I finally did it two weeks ago through EAP at my employer and that therapist didn’t show up so I decided to go through my insurance, my daughter did a bunch of research so good reviews for this therapist. I was very nervous but excited for the call this morning, and she did not show up as well so my experience with therapist so far has not been good. No message from her to explain what happened.

Dawn was so welcoming and I felt so comfortable with her. She allowed me to open up and feel heard but on a real level. I look forward to more sessions.
Dawn is a wonderful therapist! She's so open minded, she always assists me, and she's a great listener. She pushes you to want to be a better person.
I wish we had done some of what we started on session 4 in session 1 or 2 since I unfortunately only get 5 sessions with her but I like that we do it now, better late, than never and I look forward to our next session. I wish my insurance was accepted with you guys so I could continue. My telehealth is free through my insurance and I could greatly benefit with working with her
My therapist is very understanding and She ROCKS!
great first session, I felt safe and understood
Dawn was very welcoming. She let me guide the session and talk about what I felt comfortable with sharing. She was real with me and made me feel heard.
