As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe prioritizing mental health to help create balance and stability in life. Sometimes we just need an outside perspective. I have worked with all age ranges. I would love the chance to empower you to cultivate a better relationship with yourself.

Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.

I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.

After more than four decades as a therapist, I've learned something important: most people don't come to therapy because they're weak. They come because they've been strong for far too long. Life has a way of asking us to carry more than we ever imagined, whether you're caring for aging parents, grieving a loss, adjusting to retirement, managing chronic stress, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else.

For more than 43 years, I've helped adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, major life transitions, chronic health concerns, and the challenges that come with every stage of adulthood. I provide a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking practical support and lasting change.

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I believe everyone deserves a safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns, and I strive to create a warm, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping each person find balance, healing, and emotional wellness at their own pace.
