In 2018, she founded her clinical practice, a woman-owned small business where she has combined evidence-based therapy practices with a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to provide adaptive interventions that address the diverse needs and abilities of each adult, child and family.

Her clinical experiences have been driven by her commitment to advocating for underserved clients who experience barriers to treatment access or barriers to accessibility and self-determination due to disability. Areas of expertise include anxiety/trauma, child/youth development, disability, accessibility, depression/bipolar and pain management. She is a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS), certified in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and was a Certified Advanced Social Work Case Manager (C-ASWCM). Dadswell holds a bachelor’s in psychology with a focus on developmental psychology, and a Master of Social Work in Interpersonal Practice in Mental Health.
