About Dawne Velianoff

Dawne Velianoff offers behavioral health and life coaching to individuals across the lifespan, including youth, adults, couples and families, and older adults.

In session she draws on practical interventions such as motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, parenting skills training, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Her work also incorporates systems theory, taking time to examine how family dynamics and social systems influence psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
