Welcome. It's okay to not be okay. Support is available when you're ready. I specialize in supporting children, teenagers, and women facing anxiety, depression, anger, stress, intrusive thoughts, and low self-esteem. As a mental health counselor, I am dedicated to addressing women's unique challenges and empowering individuals across these age groups to achieve well-being. "Your direction is more important than your speed."
I create a safe space for clients to openly share, identify their strengths, and develop effective coping strategies using a humanistic and integrative approach (Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy).
Healing takes times, and asking for help is a courageous step. If you believe I am a suitable fit, please do not hesitate to contact me. We will collaborate at your preferred pace and prioritize the objectives you establish as a client.
Take the first step to help. Call or Zavia Dotson now - (315) 809-3805
