About Dawn
Dawn Cooperstein is an LCSW who helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life shifts. Dawn uses a down-to-earth, client-centered way of working that treats hard feelings as meaningful responses rather than personal failings. She aims to help people feel less alone and more able to make choices that fit their values.
Dawn brings 17 years of clinical experience and a depth-psychology perspective rooted in Jungian ideas. She pays attention to how past attachment, family roles, and identity changes interact with present challenges. That approach is often helpful for people dealing with grief, midlife transitions, and shifts in career or relationship patterns.
Her practice addresses ADHD, PTSD, stress, addictions, intimacy concerns, and a broad range of relationship and family-of-origin issues. Dawn also works with concerns such as shame, codependency, control struggles, and sexual culture matters including BDSM and kink when those topics are important to a client's life.
In sessions she blends client-centered talk, mindfulness, dialectical behavior tools, EMDR-informed strategies, and existential reflection. The focus is practical: build emotion regulation skills, notice recurring patterns, and reduce shame so people can make clearer decisions.
Dawn describes her style as warm, attuned, and straightforward. She encourages curiosity about inner experience while supporting clients to reclaim their voice and live with more authenticity and agency.
