Dwan Bland

Dwan Bland

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I’m Dwan! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts, with more than 15 years of experience supporting adults through some of life’s toughest—and sometimes most confusing—seasons. My journey into mental health started when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, with a natural curiosity about people and what makes us tick. That curiosity grew after my first psychology class in high school, eventually leading me to a career where I get to do what I’ve always wanted: help people feel better, understand themselves, and move forward.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy—trust me, none of us do! Life gets messy, overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a safe place to sort through it all. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and those moments when you’re simply thinking, “Okay...what am I supposed to do now?”

My style is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and judgment-free. Together, we’ll talk through the hard stuff, celebrate the wins (even the tiny ones!), uncover strengths you may have forgotten you have, and find tools that actually fit your life. I use approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and gratitude—but therapy with me isn’t about throwing a bunch of clinical terms at you. It’s about you, your story, and figuring out the next chapter together.
