Hi, I’m Lori Dawn, a Registered Counselling Therapist (Candidate) with over 21 years of experience in education and 11 years in mental health. I support children, teens, and families facing challenges like anxiety, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-aware, person-centered, and holistic, using modalities like CBT, and DBT. I aim to provide a safe, empathetic space for healing and self-discovery. I’m honored to walk with you on your wellness journey.
I support children, teens, and families with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and life transitions. My approach is person-centered, trauma-aware, and tailored to each client. I use CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, along with mindfulness and creative expression. I offer affirming care for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients in a safe, supportive space.
I know reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face things alone. Whether you're navigating big emotions, life changes, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to listen and support you. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. When you're ready, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
