About

Hello and welcome! My name is Dawn Parsons and I currently live in St. Louis. I'm licensed in Missouri and Arkansas currently. I have been a licensed psychologist for 20 years and I was an LCSW for three years prior that. I love to help people who are struggling with undiagnosed mental health concerns to find their appropriate diagnosis so they may get the treatment they need. I take a collaborative approach because you are the expert on your thoughts and feelings. I'm committed to inclusion and providing a safe space for you.

Education & Licensure

PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Forest Institute of Professional Psychology; MSW in Social Work from Saint Louis University; Bachelor's in Social Work from Southeast Missouri State University

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with autistic adults stems from a respect for neurodiversity. My goal is to provide an accurate diagnosis for you and to help you understand your strengths and areas of concern.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I take a strengths-based approach to make sure your are seen and feel empowered. I believe each client is unique and I strive to provide an inclusive environment for all.
