The Experience That Shaped How I Practice
There was a period in my life when, from the outside, it looked like I had everything together. I was successful in my career, caring for others every day, and continuing to push forward no matter how exhausted I felt. Like many women, I convinced myself that burnout, chronic stress, fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, and constantly feeling overwhelmed were just part of life.
“Overworking myself and ignoring what my body was trying to tell me nearly cost me my life. That experience changed the way I view healthcare forever.”
It taught me that true healing happens when we stop treating symptoms in isolation and start caring for the whole person. That experience is the foundation of Her Integrated Health & Psychiatry. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed, burned out, and struggling while still trying to hold everything together.
What It's Like to Work With Me
Warm enough to feel safe, direct enough to move you forward.
Warm, Not Clinical
I create a space where you feel welcomed, supported, and understood.
Direct When It Matters
Sometimes growth requires us to pause and look at things differently – I'll tell you the truth, with compassion.
A True Partnership in Care
I'm part of your team. I bring clinical knowledge and tools – you're the expert on your own life.
A Provider Who Understands, Because She's Lived It Too
I'm a high-achieving Black woman who has experienced many of the same challenges that bring people into my office - culture shifts, people-pleasing, burnout, and learning how to take better care of myself. As someone closely connected to the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of creating a space where people feel safe, affirmed, and supported, no matter their identity, background, or culture.
“I understand the importance of creating a space where people feel safe, affirmed, and supported.”

What to Expect in Our First Session
In our first session, we get to know each other, figure out where you're at, and talk through your goals. I don't believe every provider is right for every client - finding the right fit matters. We'll figure out together if we're a good match to build a long-term relationship around your care.
What Clients Say About Working With Dr. Dawson

“As a Black woman, that means a lot. Having someone like Brittany care for you, see you for who you are, and genuinely care about your wellbeing definitely sets her apart from the rest.”
