Professional statement

My name is Dawn Blake, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I tend to take a relaxed approach to therapy, meeting you where you find yourself currently. When it comes to focus areas of practice, I use a wide variety - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based / Solution - Focused, and Narrative Therapy - I consider myself to have an eclectic style and use what I have at my disposal. I work well with a variety of ages and populations, from children to the elderly, to those struggling with co-occurring disorders and life changes, anxiety and schizophrenia. All are welcome.
My approach varies to the needs of my clients, but I prefer to use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as Strengths-based / Solution-focused. Clients present with different needs, so the treatment can’t be ‘one size fits all’.
Originally, I saw myself in the criminal justice field, but decided to branch off into mental health instead - which eventually led me into entering the field of Social Work and being a clinician. I enjoy talking to people and helping them realize their own potential, even if they can't see it yet.


Message to clients

I’m glad you’re here. If life has felt heavy lately, whether from stress, relationships, work, or something you cannot quite name, you deserve support. Therapy can be a place to sort through the noise and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable. I work collaboratively, so we will clarify your goals together and adjust as you grow. You are welcome to show up exactly as you are. Even if things feel messy or uncertain, we can begin.
