Dana Lawson

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Accepting clients Last Updated 9 days ago

Hi! I'm Dana. I help clients who struggle with anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or a harsh inner critic to find greater peace, self-compassion and healthier boundaries and relationships.

College and early adulthood can be hard - figuring out who you are, who you want to be, how to manage the stress of school, new careers, relationships, living away from home, and adulting. In addition to my education and experience as a counselor, I have a master’s in higher education and 12 years of experience working with college students on college campus, with a focus on supporting international students. I have the background and knowledge to help you feel grounded and equipped to navigate your college experience.

I would be honored to walk alongside you as we work together to help you feel less stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious. I want to support you as you gain insight and develop skills that will help you to have better days ahead. You don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help. Check out my website to learn more and to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
