Dawn Giorno

Dawn Giorno, LCSW

Hi! I’m a psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience, providing therapy to individuals and couples of all ages. I utilize a holistic approach—focusing on all aspects of the person in order to find balance, calm and awareness in one’s life. I have a special interest in working with women in the perinatal season of life, those struggling in relationships, and all people navigating life transitions. I understand the unique and additional stressors that being a mother can bring and provide a warm, calming environment to explore this time. In addition, I love helping couples navigate intimacy and communication issues and am LGBTQIA+ affirming and accepting.

I approach therapy with an open, non-judgmental mind, and I believe working in collaboration with you facilitates the therapeutic process. Together we will explore the things you bring to therapy and use somatic and practical techniques to help you find more ease, comfort and acceptance. This approach allows my clients to explore their obstacles in a supportive and nurturing space. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! ~Dawn

Education

I received my Master’s of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I maintain my licensure in the State of Wisconsin as a Clinical Social Worker. Additionally, I have specific training in Perinatal Mood Disorders through Postpartum Support International (PSI) and in the Gottman Method, Level I.

Experience

I have over 12 years of experience working in the non-profit mental health field, working with diverse people of all backgrounds. My past work includes case management for people with severe and persistent mental illness and AODA community organizing. In the last four years, I’ve focused my private practice on adults navigating relationship issues, life changes, and parents/moms navigating parenthood.

My wide range of experience has given me the tools and desire to connect deeply with my clients and provide the space for change in a meaningful and immediate way.
