I am very thankful for Dawn Wiley. I was struggling through many webs when I first signed up for BetterHelp (my first counseling experience). Early on in working with Dawn I began to look forward to our weekly sessions as a pick-me-up. She is a bright light, a gentle counselor, and a supportive listener that set me on a path to see more clearly. Her offerings of wisdom, little tasks that helped with my mindset, and encouragement to actively build myself up were exactly what I needed. Even her messages throughout the week help me feel like someone cares enough to check up in between. She also provides a lot of biblical advice and faith-based growth plans that help you connect with something bigger than yourself. I recommend working with her!

So thankful for Dawn. She is such a light in this world. She has helped me to grow in myself and my relationship with God. I couldn't have asked for a better pick of therapists.

Dawn is an incredible woman of the Christian faith who will validate your emotions, pray for you, and make you feel like you are capable of more than you thought you could do before starting therapy. She's been a real blessing in my life and encourages me. She is a role model and with her encouraging advice based on the Scriptures, I've voluntarily sought more of my God and His Holy Spirit to help me with my struggles.
