Its been an Irresistible Journey
Dawn Sweeney Kniep, LCMFT, CHC
I am Licensed in the state of Kansas as a Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist (LCMFT) and am a Certified Health Coach. While working in the service industry, I completed my BS in Organizational Management & Leadership. As my husband and I were moving towards launching our maturing family, I decided to pursue my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at Friends University. I began working with individuals, couples and families in a therapeutic capacity in 2013. It was while co-owning and operating a CrossFit box with my husband, I obtained my Health Coach certification to add that and Wellness and Performance Nutrition Coaching to my practice in 2021.
Therapy Services
I am currently offering therapeutic services virtually to Kansas and Florida residents. It is my desire to be a resource of safety and hope in the lives of individuals as they navigate challenging "seasons" in their life. I firmly believe my clients already have the keys within to improve their situation and simply need an outside perspective. My experience includes and is not limited to treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma; I have considerable training & experience working with survivors of sexual abuse/assault and often works with caregivers coping with their loved one's disclosure. I am also uniquely qualified, personally & professionally, to work with blended families at any point in their development.

Wellness Coaching
Wellness Coaching is available online individually or in groups. It was through my work in mental health that I began to see the evidence of the correlation between incorporating healthy life habits and an individual's improvement in overall well-being. My experience as the resident Nutrition & Health Coach at my fitness gym confirmed my desire to help individuals find a healthy balance in their lives for total wellness. I have a track record of success at helping people find the balance between Permission (improving their relationship with food) and Performance (achieving measurable health goals at any level).
