In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.

Dawn Livingston

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Here's what I want you to know up front: I'm not going to make you feel like a case file. My background is in crisis intervention, case management, and advocacy — which means I've sat with people at their most unraveling moments, and I've learned that the most important thing isn't having a perfect therapeutic technique. It's making someone feel genuinely seen before asking them to do anything hard.

I specialize in trauma and substance use, and I work with individuals and families across all of Kentucky via telehealth. I'm also one of the very few therapists in the state who is fluent in American Sign Language — so if you or someone in your family communicates in ASL, you don't have to compromise on the quality of care you receive.

I'm openly LGBTQIA+-affirming, and I mean that in practice, not just on a checklist. I've worked with people across the gender and sexuality spectrum and genuinely enjoy holding that space.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Lexington

Searching for family therapists in Lexington starts with finding someone trained to work with the family system, not only one person. Family therapy can support families navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, or major life changes. As you compare Lexington, KY therapists, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what your family wants to address. Some marriage family therapists may also support family and marriage counseling, depending on their training and scope.

In a mid-size city like Lexington, your search may include therapists near downtown, Chevy Chase, or other nearby neighborhoods, along with virtual appointments across Kentucky. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions to make it easier for multiple people to attend from different locations. Family therapy structure can also vary — sessions may include the full family, parents or caregivers, siblings, or individual family members. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to see how they describe session structure, communication style, appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs for family counseling or marriage counseling in Lexington, KY. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
