Getting to know Emily Dawes

Hi there, I'm Emily! Therapy can be a space to slow down and make sense of what you're experiencing. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating the challenges of ADHD, moving through a life transition, or wanting support processing emotions, my goal is to support you in collaboratively meeting your goals and building a life that feels more authentically yours. My focus I work with adults navigating challenges related to trauma, ADHD, life transitions, relationships, anxiety and depression. I also work with those in the LGBTQIA+ community and provide affirming therapy. Together, we will work towards your goals, greater self-understanding, meaningful change and a life that feels more authentically yours. My approach My therapeutic approach is collaborative and evidence-based using CBT and DBT to support in identification and restructuring of unhelpful thoughts and support in skill building to help you feel more in control and through a person-centered lens grounded in the belief that you are the expert on yourself and deserve to be understood as a whole person My communication style In sessions, I provide a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space to process emotions and feel seen and understood. I have a very open and direct communication style valuing transparency. If we're processing through trauma or an emotionally challenging topic I will meet you where you're at and allow you to chose the pace that feels right. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had an interest in psychology and human behavior coupled with a strong desire to help others. I became an LMFT with the belief that therapy is one of the strongest acts of self-care a person can choose and it has been an honor to walk along side my clients as they heal, grow, and reclaim parts of themselves they once thought lost.
