Dawn Herman, PMHCNS-BC
Empathic, nonjudgmental listening in my initial meeting with clients hopefully begins to establish a collaborative working alliance. I use a variety of treatment approaches, including adding medication when appropriate. We begin to identify areas of distress, highlight strengths and then determine the goals for treatment.
I am a founding partner of Westside Behavioral Health.
