Mental health taken
seriously.
I understand that every person's journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health counseling. That's why I take the time to listen and understand your specific needs. I am passionate about working collaboratively with you to develop personalized strategies and tools that will support your emotional and psychological well-being.
Individualized treatment plans
Individualized treatment plans are tailored to address your specific concerns, goals, and strengths. I take into account factors such as your background, experiences, and preferences to create a plan that resonates with you. By working closely together, we aim to empower you with strategies and techniques that are most effective for your personal growth and well-being.
Holistic approach to mental health counseling
My therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs, and I draw from evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I am committed to creating a warm and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
Mission
My mission is to empower individuals, couples, and families to overcome life's challenges and achieve emotional well-being. I am dedicated to promoting mental wellness, resilience, and personal growth by designing counseling interventions tailored to your unique needs. I strive to be a trusted source of support, guidance, and transformation on my clients' journeys toward emotional health and a more fulfilling life.

ESA
Certification
Dr. Dawn Stacey is pleased to offer services to certify emotional support animals (ESAs). I understand the incredible benefits that ESAs can provide to individuals experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties.
Please note that these services are designed specifically for emotional support animal certification and are not related to service animals or therapy animals.
There are a lot of scams surrounding ESA certification - such as claiming to need to register your pet. There is no national, state, or city level registry for ESAs.
Emotional support animals also do not need framed certificates, pet ID cards, ESA vests, and/or tags.
Certification is based on an ESA letter written specifically for you by a licensed mental health provider that verifies your need for an emotional support animal.
I am well-versed in the requirements and guidelines for ESA certification and can guide you through the process - ensuring that you understand the steps involved and assisting you in obtaining the necessary ESA letter. You can rest assured that you will receive the guidance and documentation necessary to legally and confidently benefit from the companionship and emotional support of your ESA.
Confidentiality
Your privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance. Dr. Dawn Stacey strictly adheres to ethical guidelines and legal requirements to ensure that your personal information remains secure. You can trust that your sessions will be conducted in a safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment.
Complies with HIPPA regulations
All information exchanged via email, text, phone, and in therapy is confidential and protected by law (when applicable). This includes the client's right to control the release of information, as well as the right to access certain types of information regarding their treatment.
The law protects the relationship between a client and a therapist, so information cannot be disclosed without written permission/consent.
