As a Licensed Professional Counselor my goal is to help you become your best self. If you are in need of support with past traumatic issues I have worked for over 5 years helping people who have suffered many traumatic events. In addition, I have worked with many families to help them and their children when it comes to parenting, adjusting to separation, divorce or blending your family effectively after a divorce. I also work with adults and children who suffer from anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, mood disorders, and gender identity issues.

I'm Alexandria (Ali) Dawson, and I'm a part of Dawson Counseling Services, LLC. I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker, and I specialize in working with young adult/adult women.

I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach is rooted in creativity and flexibility, allowing us to tailor your sessions to your unique preferences and individual needs.

I strive to serve people who feel unworthy, hopeless, or stuck. People who want to create positive change and are willing to co-create that by taking it one step at a time. I believe that anyone is capable of creating realistic, healthy goals that will increase their sense of wellbeing in their everyday life.

I have developed a unique combination of interpersonal psychoanalysis, mind-body-spirit alliance and cognitive behavioral techniques. I have been able to develop my abilities in a way of optimizing a person's success. I have seen so many people from all walks of life, which has provided me with a deep insight and a practical view of variety problems that people are facing. I approach all who I see with the same respect, humility and dignity that I would want for myself or one of my loved one experiencing similar pains.

Individual Therapy provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It can be a challenge to find a therapist who understands the deeper parts of you, your story, and your life. You want someone who can be supportive yet directive. In our work together I will provide a safe space for exploration and growth.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients who are having difficulty in our fast-paced environment dealing with life’s stressors related to marriages/partnerships, families, friendships, social isolation, employment and finances. I provide a safe place where clients know they can share in a confidential environment without judgment. All of us have negative thoughts. Realizing that we are more than our thoughts, though, can be truly liberating and allow a person to live a full and meaningful life, even when faced with struggles that may seem impossible to overcome.

The mission of Diverse Counseling Solutions, LLC. is always to provide a safe place for clients to process their experiences, goals, core beliefs and values; we provide gentle assistance as clients make decisions that are a reflection of who they truly are. We problem solve, laugh, cry, learn, grow, and do it all over again as many times as it takes while clients evolve to be fully who they were meant to be.
