Dawn is great at listening and helping work through problems. She doesn't pry or assume. She helps her patients find their own solutions and builds them up.

Dawn was tremendously helpful in providing guidance through a difficult time in my life. She is very gentle in her approach, and very knowledgeable.

Dawn Thompson is amazing. I’ve not had a great historical experience with therapy but that all changed with Dawn. She has been so helpful to me in how I approach challenges emotionally and tools to handle issues going forward. I so appreciate the counseling sessions and my time with Dawn.

Written on Apr 16, 2025 after therapy with Dawn for 7 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and family conflicts
I went through at least 2 other therapists before Dawn and it wasn't until her that I truly felt I found the right fit. I came to her for family relationships and compassion fatigue. My needs and goal was met in a timely manner thanks to her and her professionalism. I am so grateful that God brought her to me so I could heal. Dawn was attentive and didn't make excuses for those who hurt me. She was very patient with me and helped to stay on target as I'm easily side tracked. I highly recommend her.

My therapist Dawn Thompson listened to me and gave me great advice. My therapist also checked on me to see how I was doing and that meant a lot to me. I was comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with Dawn and I usually do not talk with anyone other than GOD and my daughters about my personal business. I appreciate my principal for advising me to talk with someone and Better Help was a great choice. Thanks Dawn for everything.

Dawn is absolutely fantastic and has been a gem during this confusing and dark time in my life. I appreciate how empathetic she is and how helpful she is in helping me to realize what I’m feeling and to help organize my thoughts. I also really appreciate that she also makes room to just listen to everything going on that I need to let out. I’m very grateful that I was paired with her for my first experience with BetterHelp.
