Dr. Dunn's Approach

Dr. Dunn's integrative clinical approach infuses existential/humanistic, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural elements, with cognitive and behavioral change techniques and principles. She believes that change happens through a combination of understanding (i.e., emotional and intellectual insight ) and concrete behavioral changes.
