I have a Ph.D. and 25+ years of experience working in mental health and related fields. My overall goal is to provide a trusting and caring environment where we will work to address some areas and seek healthier connections. I want to empower and provide you with tools to accomplish goals. In prior years, I have worked with youth in foster care and adoptions.
I am a compassionate person, who currently serves as a Travel Social Worker, where I provide essential individual and group therapy to clients in need by focusing on clinical assessments and crisis interventions. I ensure that clients experiencing self-injurious behaviors receive ongoing support. My commitment to improving mental health is further highlighted by my role as Clinical Director at Pinnacle Point Supportive Services, where I was instrumental for 14 years. In this position, I overseen a team of therapists, facilitate therapy sessions for both children and adults, and engage in court-related matters. With a strong foundation in therapy and clinical supervision, I have developed skills in treatment planning, documentation, and quality assurance.
I am Dr. Michelle G. Clay, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and National Certified Counselor with more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, counseling, education, training, and community-based services. I earned my doctorate in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University and hold a master’s degree in counseling.
Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings, including schools, outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment, higher education, and community programs. My clinical and professional interests include ADHD and executive functioning, trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, family and relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, and helping individuals develop healthier coping and communication skills.
I believe people often already possess more strength and ability than they realize. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping clients better understand what may be getting in the way of the life they want to create. I bring both clinical knowledge and real-world experience into my work and strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and able to make meaningful changes at their own pace.
In addition to counseling, I am passionate about teaching, training, and professional development. I have served as an adjunct faculty member, clinical supervisor, facilitator, and conference presenter and enjoy helping both individuals and professionals translate knowledge into practical strategies they can use in everyday life.
I am authentic and honest in my work with others in therapy. I began my professional clinical journey in my 40's after a successful business career. I have chosen to continuously learn and grown clinically to serve those who I work with so we can work together to resolve any behavioral health issue they are facing. I work mostly with adults and tend to do a lot of couples work focusing on relationship building and restoration. My background is also heavy in substance use treatment.

Hello! My name is Dawn and I am a licensed professional counselor holding dual licenses in the state of South Carolina where I currently reside, and my native New York state.

I serve as a co-collaborator providing support, insight, and assistance on the client's journey of self-discovery and healing.
Grief, loss, anxiety, and depression can make everyday life feel harder to navigate. I support clients working through bereavement, end-of-life concerns, anxiety, and depression in online therapy. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, with 17 years of experience. I want you to feel heard, respected, and supported as you make sense of what you’re carrying. If you’re looking for a compassionate space to talk openly, I welcome you to reach out.
I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) in North Carolina, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine. I am also a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. My counseling style is grounded in a nonjudgmental, cognitive-behavioral approach. I believe in taking the time to truly understand each client’s perspective and collaborating to find practical, meaningful solutions that fit their life. My goal is to help clients build insight, develop effective tools that lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
I have been providing therapy to adults for about 20 years. My favorite feedback has been "you're the first therapist I don't have to edit myself to". I am solution focused, open minded and creative as well as judgment free (nobody's path is a straight line). I have a PhD in Metaphysical Science and got my MS from Nova Southeastern University. I am a certified trauma specialist. I also have done extensive research on the prediction of violent behavior.
I have been in the counseling field for over 30 years and practicing as a licensed counselor for the past 7 years. I have worked with a variety of populations to include children, adults and families. I'm a very genuine person that enjoy assisting others with developing the best version of themselves.
