Hello, my name is Dr. Laniesha S. Dunn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Doctorate in Social Work (DSW). I specialize in providing therapy to individuals across various age groups, including children, adolescents, and adults. Employing evidence-based practices, my therapy sessions are dedicated to fostering a hopeful outlook, cultivating constructive coping strategies, and nurturing qualities such as self-esteem and self-confidence. The core of the helping process is the relationship between a therapist and client.
As a clinician, I specialize in an integrative therapeutic approach that encompasses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Approaches. My goal is to challenge maladaptive thoughts and unhelpful behaviors, replacing them with more realistic thinking patterns and more adaptive coping strategies.
