01The clinical foundation
Psychiatry that looks at the person, not just the diagnosis.
Psychiatric care is the foundation of everything at Mind & Mirror Effect. Dr. Dawson evaluates each person in context: their history, their relationships, their physical health, and the way they understand themselves. The goal is not to label a problem and stop there. It is to understand it well enough to create a thoughtful path forward, together.
What this covers
Adult, child and adolescent, addiction and forensic psychiatry, grounded in decades of experience and a collaborative way of working.

Practical education in how thoughts, emotions and behaviors shape one another, and how that understanding can be used day to day.

Family Communication & Education
Helping families talk to each other more clearly, especially when one person’s challenges affect everyone at the table.
It is my honor to assist my patients in creating their life.
Every evaluation at Mind & Mirror Effect starts with the individual, looks at contributing factors from more than one discipline, and ends with a plan that is realistic for one person’s life. Education is part of care: understanding what is happening is the first step to changing it.
