I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). While I’m proud of my education and experience, titles aren’t what’s important to me. What matters is helping you feel better, helping you move forward, and supporting you in becoming the best version of yourself. I also have an extensive military background and served in the U.S. Army as both a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot and a fixed-wing RC-12 pilot. My military experience taught me the importance of preparation, communication, teamwork, and staying calm when things get complicated. My style is informal, relaxed, and judgment-free. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say when we meet. Just show up as you are. I’ll meet you where you are mentally, and we’ll work together from there.

Dawn Livingston

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.
