Deborah Dawes
Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Deborah Dawes has been pursuing the art and science of helping people gain the lives they desire since co-founding a drug crisis center in 1969. Though a paraprofessional at the time the experience spurred her on to obtain the training and education that has resulted in her becoming a seasoned and resourceful professional clinician. Always intrigued by the human psyche she is constantly enhancing her skill set with training and learning, and these discoveries help her retain her delight in her profession as well as keep her on the forefront of effective psychotherapy.
