I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with 26 years of clinical experience counseling people of all ages who struggle with various concerns and mental health challenges. I draw from a variety of treatment approaches and have a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), both of which offer hands-on skills to help you navigate the challenges of daily life, manage mental health symptoms and improve interpersonal relationships. I take a humanistic and client-centered approach, which honors the inherent dignity and worth of each person and recognizes the importance of providing a safe and open environment in which you can share thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgment. I specialize in trauma treatment and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dawn Brumfield. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dawn has been extremely helpful and gentle with understanding my feelings and concerns. She is actively helping me find ways to cope with the trauma I've been through while helping me gently unpack all of the traumatic things I've experienced.
