Voted Top Licensed Professional Counselor in the Murrysville, PA area, for 2015 and 2016 by "The Worldwide Leaders in Healthcare" |
Dawn L. Elder, MA, NCC, LPCI can honestly say that I love my career! I would not trade being a Psychotherapist for anything in the world! One of my main goals in therapy is to teach patients that they can transform their own personal painful or traumatic experiences into their own personal strength and growth! I believe that a strong, comfortable rapport between my patients and I plays an intricate role in their successful treatment. I practice like I'm human...because I am human! I am very genuine with my patients and I never put on a facade pretending to be perfect nor would I pretend to be someone who I am not. Yes, I have set professional boundaries in my office, however, I do not and I will not put up a wall between my patients and myself! Please read my Bio to learn more about my education, my experience, what I treat and the treatment modalities I use! |
