Michelle Dawson

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Last Updated 244 days ago

I am licensed in New York with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
I use a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based CBT, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Strengths-Based Perspective to assist the client depending on their goals. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
