Favorite therapist!

Dr. Dawn is my favorite therapist and I’m a therapist! She is so clear about what’s needed to heal while being relatable at the same time. I appreciate her balance of being warmth and direct.

Amazing Real Talk…Straight Like That!

With her 20 years of experience, Dr. Dawn Crosson does an amazing job of giving very important insight on topics we should be talking about as black women (and black men). She shares her in-depth perceptiveness about the struggles we face, and fosters an environment where we are informed, encouraged, and empowered. From the younger to the older generations, make no mistake…these are the conversations that need to be had. Dr. Crosson is precise and raw….no la-la-land gimmicks here! So go ahead, hit that play button and settle in for some SANITY and REAL conversation. It’s definitely worth listening to!
