About Dawn Maria Spradley

I am a licensed mental health therapist in the great state of Texas with at least 7 years of professional work experience. I take exceptional pride of making sure each client has a free and protected space to feel vulnerable and safe to process raw emotions, feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, bereavement, grief, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. From an Adlerian Therapy approach, I want to help encourage and empower clients to identify and use their strengths to attain their goals, with the power of learning their own positive psychology.

My goodness-CONGRATULATIONS to you! It takes courage to seek help-and I am here to support & empower you through your journey of healing! So let healing BEGIN, right here! I want to hear your story! Right now!

*Unfortunately, due to other commitments, I am only able to offer 5-7 hour a week-however, I am willing to discuss how to better accommodate days/hours as needed. ((FOR couples- some evenings because of you alls work schedules)).
*I am unable to do paperwork for FMLA or any other documentation that you may need per BH rules.
*I DO NOT prescribe medications.
*I am unable to accommodate after 5 pm sessions because of other work commitments 😟-I do offer Sundays.
*I would prefer that the client DOES NOT operate a vehicle during the session.
