Dawn LeBeau

With over 25 years of experience, Dawn LeBeau, LCSW, PC, brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to her counseling practice in Rochester, NY. Her philosophy on fear as a limiting factor in personal growth sets the tone for her approach to therapy. "If my numerous years of practice have taught me anything, it is the limiting nature of fear," Dawn reflects, highlighting her commitment to helping clients navigate life's challenges with courage and resilience.

Dawn's educational background is robust, with a BS in Individual and Family Studies from Penn State (1987) and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh (1989). This solid foundation, combined with her diverse professional experiences, informs her multifaceted approach to therapy. Prior to establishing her private practice, Dawn served as a Spanish and Theology teacher, as well as a Guidance Counselor for middle and high school students. Additionally, she dedicated a decade to providing therapy for individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury and their families, demonstrating her versatility and depth of expertise.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker registered in the state of New York, Dawn specializes in treating anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, and interpersonal relations. While her practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she emphasizes that her approach is not limited to a single treatment modality. This flexibility allows her to tailor her services to meet the unique needs of each client, whether they're seeking individual, couples, or family therapy.

Dawn's practice has evolved with the times, now offering both in-office appointments and telehealth services. This adaptation ensures that clients can access her expertise in a manner that best suits their comfort and convenience. Her commitment to providing a safe and effective therapeutic environment is evident in her adherence to proper sanitation and safety protocols for in-person sessions, as well as her use of a fully encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform for virtual appointments.

In her own words, Dawn promises to "walk beside you when I can, push when I need to and, if you are tired, reach for your hand and pull you forward into your next, best self." This compassionate yet motivational approach encapsulates her dedication to guiding clients through their personal growth journeys. Whether addressing grief and loss, life transitions, parenting issues, or spiritual growth and development, Dawn LeBeau stands ready to help her clients navigate the complexities of life and emerge stronger on the other side.
