Hi, I am Charisse Dawkins, LCSW

Lessons From the Field
Over the years, I’ve tried many tools, models, and approaches. 
Some worked...others taught me what not to do.

Like the time I realized that reflective supervision wasn’t about checking a box—it was about helping overwhelmed professionals rediscover their why.

Or when a parent, after trying everything, finally slowed down and saw their child’s behavior as a need, not defiance. That shift? Changed everything.

These real-life lessons help shape how I support each individual who walks through my door—with honesty, curiosity, and heart.
