Dr. Dawn Engel

Areas of expertise: childhood abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and how to manage an addicted love one. I also specialize in couples and family counseling. I see teens, clients with gender identity issues, clients who are bipolar or have a personality disorder. Feedback from clients: "I finally understand how to cope with the emotionally immature person in my life." "Dawn is honest with me about things I need to improve on." "My husband and I are now able to discuss money, sex and co-parenting without fighting." "Dawn helped me stop the pattern of generational abuse in my family." "I am enjoying my life again! Thank you." , " Why do I worry so much about what people think of me? How come I cant set healthy boundaries with people who drain me? Why cant my husband and I talk about sensitive topics without getting into an argument? Why is being a step parent so challenging? You may need a place to vent. Or, you may want a new perspective on an old issue. I welcome your call. ", " You may know what you need to do but cant get yourself to do it. Or you are a teenager wishing you could talk to your parents more openly. My style of work is based on Compassion and Acceptance, Cognitive, and Family Systems Theory. I also run two support groups; Daughters of Narcissistic parents, and Parents of Adult Children with Personality Disorders. "
