Michele Dadson
Hi. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in VA with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with moderate to severely impairing mood disorders, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behavior, disruptive behaviors, or continued family conflict. In addition to providing individual and family therapy, I routinely consult with school personnel and/or treating physicians. I have worked in multiple settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics as well as in private practice. Although beginning therapy is easy for some, for many others it is fraught with difficulty. Whether it be a child who didn’t like the treatment he received in the past, an adolescent who only agrees to attend sessions under protest, or an adult who was taught that only the most severely ill clients go to therapy; beginning treatment can be difficult. Encouraging reluctant or apprehensive clients to “try therapy”; eventually engaging those willing into treatment, and helping those who prefer not to continue, find alternative ways of managing symptoms has been the focal point of my work throughout my entire career.
