Dawn Ippoliti

Dawn Ippoliti is licensed in both New York and New Jersey. She specializes in using art therapy to explore issues with trauma, family challenges, depression, anxiety and stress management. Dawn particularly enjoys working with teens and young adults to strengthen their abilities to address life challenges and learn new ways to cope with stress and anxiety. Dawn is an expert in gently helping clients navigate the emotional intricacies of their past, identify their strengths, and build interpersonal skills, so they can live a life that feels rich and meaningful.

Dawn practices from a holistic approach, drawing upon evidence-based modalities with an emphasis on mindfulness and staying grounded in the present moment. Through art therapy, she helps her clients explore a deeper, more internal part of the self to discover insights about the unconscious mind. She supplements this creative process with active discussion to physically and mentally engage each client fully. Her work is focused on enabling clients to explore their inner desires and relationship patterns, foster personal growth, and progress toward healing in a creative way. With clients who choose not to engage in art therapy, she utilizes talk therapy to highlight their strengths and mindfully guide them toward finding fulfillment in themselves and their relationships.

Dawn is committed to creating a safe, comfortable atmosphere for clients to freely explore their thoughts and feelings. Her practice is trauma-informed and highly personalized toward the needs of each client. Currently she is working virtually for both her New York clients and New Jersey Clients. Additionally, her office in New Jersey is conveniently located in downtown Westfield near Mindowaskin Park.
