Lindsey Dawson, MA, MFTC
Life is hard. I decided to become a therapist because I believe we all need a helping hand in this life. At many points along the way, we just need support and someone to shine a little light in the midst of our darkest hours to help us rediscover ourselves and our path. None of us can do this alone. My perspective is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. We are all trying our hardest to make it, day after day. Life keeps getting tougher and the world louder. We can easily become lost and disconnected from ourselves and our loved ones. I believe that with challenges and discomfort comes opportunities for growth and immense possibilities. Our work together will be growth orientated as I believe transformational and meaningful change is possible for all people.
Prior to deciding to become a marriage and family therapist, I worked in the behavioral and mental healthcare fields for over 15 years. I have worked in foster care, residential facilities, case management, substance abuse, supported women with trauma, and provided therapy to children with developmental delays. Currently, I volunteer with Hospice as working with the dying and their families is sacred work that I hope to one day incorporate into my practice as a therapist.
In my free time, I can be found playing and going on long meandering walks with my German Shepherd, gardening, painting, cooking, and trying out new restaurants with friends. I look forward to getting to know you. Take care.
