Meet The Team
Dawn Yates MSW, LSW
My Name is Dawn Yates and I have been delivering counseling services to families, couples, and individuals for over 20 years. I have raised 5 children in this time period as well. I enjoy the satisfaction I get from seeing families, couples, and individuals progress towards their own goals and become self-reliant. I especially get a lot of satisfaction when I see how much they care for themselves beyond the therapeutic relationship.
Personally, I enjoy taking my kids and grandkids to do lots of activities such as four-wheeling, traveling, and swimming at the pool or the beach. I enjoy the memories I have developed and will leave for my family. I enjoy spending time with my three dogs since they greet me each day with a tail wag and a toy just hoping I will play for a few minutes and give them a treat. The best is cuddling with the kids and dogs every chance I get.
I am only accepting Medicaid Patients at this time.
Catherine M. Pittman, Ph.D., HSPP
Clinical Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who practices evidence-based psychotherapy, which means that the approaches that I use have been tested and shown to be effective. My focus is on understanding how the natural processes of the brain and body can be changed in order to improve one’s life.
My 20 years of experience in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Neuropsychology allow me not only to help people change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but also to understand what needs to be changed in the brain to help people accomplish these changes. The brain is capable of tremendous growth, change, and healing, no matter what your age, and medication is not always necessary to promote change. I believe in providing the support and knowledge to help you on your journey, but you choose the goals. Each person needs to approach their goals in a way that is individually tailored to their specific needs and abilities.
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders (including OCD) and mood disorders (e.g., Depression), as well as assisting in recovery from brain injury or stroke. I am known for my book, Rewire Your Anxious Brain. I also have years of experience with LGBT clients, including those with Gender Dysphoria.
I am not accepting new patients at this time
