About Me

Hello - I am a child psychologist, and I enjoy supporting children, adolescents, and their families in building skills and finding the resources they need to grow and learn during difficult times.

I find the resilience of children inspiring and motivating. Whether in my clinical work, or research, I have seen how children learn to adjust, grow, and thrive, despite the obstacles they may face.

I work with school-age children and adolescents. Common areas of focus include:

anxiety,

trauma & grief,

depression,

ADHD,

school issues, &

divorce.

Dr. Dawn McDaniel Licensed Psychologist

I see a child as the center of an interconnected web of relationships. Through my work with families, I aim to strengthen these relationships and ensure that the most important people in a child’s life have the resources and tools they need to support their child’s growth and adjustment.
