About

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.
