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!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dawn Maria Spradley. 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.
She is incredibly understanding, supportive, and refreshingly direct, which I truly appreciate. I love that our sessions don’t feel stiff or overly serious, it genuinely feels like talking to a friend who also knows exactly when to challenge me and keep me grounded. I always leave feeling heard, validated, and clearer than when I walked in.
