Hi, my name is Dawn Wake. Thank you for reading my profile. I have a clinical social work license in Kansas. I am an individual, family and marriage therapist with over 25 years of experience working as a mental health clinician. During my career, I have worked as a supervisor and clinician at the community mental health center and in a private practice for the last 20 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have a specialty working with abuse issues as well as working with children.
I have taught many educational classes involving therapy with children and families at both the university and in classes for certification for a clinician's licensing requirements. I have supervised many therapists in completing their therapy experience while completing their licensing requirements.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I will meet you where you are at in your journey towards betterment.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
