Therapy for Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma

Hello, my name is Dawn Warren.  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate,

supervised by Reem Glasco, LPC-S, serving the state of Texas.

Your tired of being in “Survival Mode”

You’re used to holding it all together. You overthink, overgive, dissociate, shut down, or explode—and then spiral with shame or self-doubt. You feel too much or not enough. You worry you're “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or “too much.” But what if those reactions aren’t signs of weakness... but signs of a nervous system shaped by trauma?

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I help adults heal from developmental trauma, dissociation, and emotional overwhelm.

You didn’t choose the early environments that shaped how you learned to survive. If you grew up feeling unsafe, unseen, or like love had to be earned—your body and brain did what they had to do to get through it. But now? That same survival wiring is burning you out.

You might feel:

  • Like you’re “not really here” or often disconnected from your body

  • Stuck in a loop of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt

  • Easily overwhelmed by emotions or quick to shut down

  • Exhausted, numb, or like your inner world is chaotic

  • Unsure who you are underneath the roles you’ve played to stay safe

Therapy with me is steady, warm, and rooted in nervous system safety.

I don’t believe in rushing, analyzing you, or pushing you to retell painful memories. Instead, I offer a relational approach that meets you gently where you are. We’ll work together to:

  • Soothe and regulate your nervous system

  • Develop tools for grounding and emotional safety

  • Use parts work to understand your inner world

  • Reclaim the pieces of you that had to hide, protect, or perform

  • Build a sense of belonging—to yourself, and in your life

You deserve more than just surviving. Let’s find steady ground together.

Healing doesn’t mean you won’t struggle—it means you no longer have to carry it all by yourself or fake being okay.

If you’re ready to explore therapy that feels real, relational, and doable, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk about what’s going on, what you’re needing, and how we might move forward—at your pace.
