Dawn Smith, MSEd, LMHCA

Dawn Smith is a Strategy Integrator and Licensed Therapist at Courageous Healing. She was raised on the south side of Fort Wayne, IN, and has over 10 years of experience in public service. With compassion and genuine empathy, Dawn utilizes culturally sensitive therapeutic techniques to guide her clients in their healing journey toward a balanced, happy life. She believes therapy is a collaborative process and should be seen as a way to empower clients to accomplish their mental health and wellness goals. Her approach to therapy is humanistic and goal-oriented.

Dawn is the author of "Enough, To Uplift and Inspire Those Who Have Forgotten Their Value," a journal inspired by a period of transition in her life written to remind readers of the value their life holds, even when situations around them seem to prove otherwise. She inspires people to make the most of each day, take stock of their life and purpose's value, and the impact the rest of the world is waiting for them to make.

In her free time, Dawn enjoys giving back to her community through the various organizations she is a part of and spending time with her family. Dawn is very family-oriented and especially loves creating memorable experiences with the ones she loves. When Dawn is not working, you can find her painting, writing, or participating in some form of self-care.
