Throughout Louisiana and Texas, Dr. Dawson provides convenient virtual care for patients in Hammond, Baton Rouge, Covington, Mandeville, Houston, Dallas, and surrounding areas.
Yes. I provide secure virtual therapy sessions for clients in Louisiana and Texas, including areas such as Hammond, Baton Rouge, Covington, New Orleans, Houston, and Dallas. Virtual sessions allow you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, mood disorders (including bipolar-related concerns), stress management, and life transitions. I also work with clients navigating emotional dysregulation, relationship stress, and unresolved past experiences.
I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs. This includes trauma-informed therapy, cognitive-behavioral interventions (CBT), somatic-based techniques, grounding skills, and emotional regulation strategies. My work is collaborative and individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the body and mind, helping you understand how stress and trauma are stored in the nervous system. Trauma-informed therapy prioritizes safety, pacing, and empowerment while helping you process painful experiences in a structured and supportive way.
I have over 13 years of professional experience in the mental health field working with individuals, families, and groups across various settings.
The first session focuses on understanding your concerns, history, and goals for therapy. We will begin building a plan that fits your needs while establishing a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.
This depends on your practice structure. Many clients choose private pay for increased flexibility and privacy. (You can adjust this based on your actual policy.)
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally drained, or struggling to manage stress, relationships, or past experiences, therapy can help. You do not have to wait until things feel unmanageable to begin.
My approach blends clinical expertise with a culturally responsive, trauma-informed lens. I focus on helping clients not only understand their experiences but also build practical tools to regulate emotions, process trauma, and create lasting change.
