About Irene Dawson

If you are experiencing barriers that are keeping you from having a fulfilling, productive and joyful life, I urge you to seek psychotherapy. I have enjoyed working in community mental health and substance abuse agencies as well as school settings and have helped many people address painful issues. It is most rewarding to be able to guide people to a more satisfying life experience. I am experienced in crisis counseling, individual therapy, substance abuse and group work. I have special training in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Strength Based Positive Psychology. I frequently utilize a variety of techniques.
Often I explore and deepen an individual's understanding of their character strengths. I also explore with my clients how to change ways of thinking, that may be holding them back from experiencing the inner life and relationships they desire. In addition, I have utilized art and mindfulness techniques.
I have worked with women and men of all ages, exploring a variety of issues in individual and group settings. If you feel stuck and feel you are ready to explore issues in a safe environment, please give me a call. Life can be better.
