Getting to know Diana Dawson

Hi there, I'm Diana! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate University. I have been practicing for over 7 years and have experience working with individuals of diverse ages and ethnic backgrounds. I enjoy getting to know people and being a part of their journey. My approach I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, focusing on how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and helping you evaluate if your current process needs reframing. I also incorporate Trauma-focused CBT to address specific challenges. My focus Connecting with your therapist is an important part of therapy. For this reason, I offer a 15-minute free consultation where you can meet me and determine if I am a good fit for you. I have extensive experience helping people with depression, anxiety, and trauma diagnoses. My communication style I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment during sessions. I believe in building a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions. My first session with you In our first session, I gather information to better understand you and work collaboratively with you to create meaningful goals. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine.
