About

You Matter.

If you've found yourself here, chances are you've been carrying more than anyone realizes. Maybe you've experienced trauma, emotional abuse, narcissistic relationships, childhood wounds, or years of feeling like you had to survive instead of truly live. Perhaps you've been told you're "too sensitive," questioned your own reality, learned to doubt yourself, or wondered why healing feels so difficult even after you've tried so hard. The truth is, you're not broken. Trauma isn't what happened to you—it's what happened inside of you as a result of what happened. And while trauma can disconnect you from yourself, healing helps you find your way back. I'm Dawn Bouillion, a Licensed Professional Counselor and trauma therapist. I help people find their way back to themselves after trauma, emotional abuse, narcissistic relationships, childhood wounds, and religious trauma. Because healing isn't just about reducing anxiety or overcoming painful experiences. It's about rebuilding trust in yourself. It's about learning to hear your own voice again. It's about reclaiming the person survival taught you to abandon. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique story. I incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and other trauma-informed approaches to help clients understand what trauma has done to their nervous system so they can move beyond surviving and begin truly living. I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reclaiming the person trauma convinced you you couldn't be. Whether you're navigating the effects of trauma, emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, or complex PTSD, you don't have to face it alone. Healing is possible, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you as you find your way back to yourself. Because somewhere beneath the trauma, the fear, the people-pleasing, the self-doubt, and the survival… you are still there. And I believe you are worth finding.

Testimonials

“Dawn made me feel seen, heard, and understood. We did a 2-day ART Intensive where I learned how my past trauma affected my choices and reactions in life. I felt empowered finally and had the courage to move forward with my divorce after a terrible 30 years. ”

Jen E.

“Dawn is amazing! She has helped me work through the most difficult times. Processing trauma is tough but having her guide and support me made me feel seen and understood. Being a part of her group therapy has helped me find the most amazing women as well.”

Misha M.

“Dawn brought insight to what narcissism is and how to move forward from a 20 year marriage with boundaries that protected my well being. She gave extra time and attention to a separate support group which was a lifeline in my worst days.”
