Meet Byron Dawson

Traumatic experiences can disrupt the flow of a person’s life to the point that attempting to complete once mundane, everyday tasks can fill a person with anxiety and frustration and even sadness. When these feelings are left unprocessed and bottled up, that frustration may contribute to negative thoughts about oneself and diminish a person’s sense of self confidence and self worth.

Byron knows how overwhelming it can feel when events that are out of our control alter the path of our lives, and how frustrating it can be to adapt. Many of the clients he works with feel stuck in cycles of irritability, frustration, or self-doubt. They might feel like they’re falling short of their goals and struggle to manage the impact this has on their work, school, or relationships. Byron’s approach focuses on meeting clients where they are and helping them find a way forward.

Using a mindful, cognitive-behavioral approach, Byron helps clients build a healthier relationship with their thoughts and emotions. He works to provide practical tools for reducing stress and developing new ways to cope, empowering his clients to face life’s challenges with a renewed hope in progress.

Byron has a particular passion for working with teens, drawing on his extensive experience in substance use prevention, anger management, and teaching effective coping skills. He is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their struggles, uncover their strengths, and make meaningful changes.

Byron recognizes that deciding to start therapy is a courageous feat, and he is honored to provide a space for self-discovery, growth, and a new perspective on life.
