✨Staff Highlight✨

Dawn Damon, SUDPT|RAAC
Dawn has worked in the Substance Use Disorder field since 2001 and has been a member of the Contact Counseling team since 2024. She earned her Associate degree in Substance Use Disorders in Washington State in 2026 and previously held a counseling license in California. In addition to her professional training and experience, Dawn brings nearly 20 years of personal recovery experience to her work with clients.
Her background includes lived experience with homelessness, domestic violence, the criminal justice system, addiction, and trauma. These experiences help Dawn connect with clients from a place of understanding, compassion, and respect. She believes that everyone deserves a chance to create a new way of life, regardless of where they have been or what they have experienced.
One of Dawn’s favorite parts of counseling is “watching the lights come on"- seeing the moment when a client begins to recognize their own strengths, potential, and ability to change. She values being able to walk alongside clients as they grow, rebuild, and begin to blossom in recovery.

​

Outside of work, Dawn is an avid baker, cook, and gardener. She is especially known for her trifles and cheesecakes. She also loves spending time outdoors, including camping and paddle boarding.

Contact Counseling & NWSARA: Supporting Long-Term Recovery
All of us at Contact Counseling are proud to be an ally of Northwest Substance Abuse Recovery Alliance (NWSARA), an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals overcome financial barriers to substance use disorder treatment and long-term recovery.Contact Counseling and NWSARA are separate, independently operated organizations.*

Through our relationship with NWSARA, we may help identify individuals who are committed to recovery but face financial barriers to accessing the services they need. NWSARA may then provide financial assistance to help make those services—including therapy, outpatient treatment, and sober living—more accessible.


How You Can Help Support Residents and Clients
When you support NWSARA, you can help remove one of the biggest obstacles people face when seeking recovery: the cost of treatment and stable housing.


Many people seeking recovery have been struggling with substance use since a young age and are facing significant challenges in their mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Some may have limited employment opportunities, little or no family support, or may even be experiencing homelessness when they finally decide they are ready to make a change.


Financial assistance can make a critical difference. Treatment and recovery don't happen overnight, and sustainable recovery often requires ongoing support, stable housing, and access to appropriate therapeutic services.


When you support a resident through NWSARA, you're helping give someone an opportunity to build a healthier, more stable future.


NWSARA is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations made directly to NWSARA may be tax-deductible as permitted by law. Contact Counseling does not receive these donations or administer NWSARA's funds.


You can donate securely through NWSARA's PayPal or send a check to:


NWSARA
2795 E. Bakerview Rd. #17
Bellingham, WA 98226


Even a monthly contribution of $25 can help make recovery more accessible to someone who needs it. Consider making NWSARA part of your monthly giving plan.


At Contact Counseling, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue recovery. We're proud to partner with organizations like NWSARA that work to remove financial barriers and help people access the resources they need to build lives in recovery.


Support someone's recovery today—and help be part of the solution.

*Contact Counseling provides counseling and treatment services; NWSARA is a nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to individuals and recovery-support organizations. While we share a commitment to helping people achieve lasting recovery, NWSARA is not a treatment center, and Contact Counseling is not a part of NWSARA.
