I am Dawnyell Bolling... wife, mother, and degreed psychologist. For most of my life, I have had a mysterious interest in what makes people make the choices that they do. As I pursued my degree, much to my surprise, my concentration in child and young adult development chose me. My personal life events and experiences have seemed to provide a very solid foundation for this. My wonderful marriage and 4 children keep me in touch with the day to day realities of life's ever changing choices and the disciplines required to, as an inner child, live them, and, as a depended upon adult, to guide them. My professional roles have been mostly; on site at churches, organizations, and youth facilities as a counselor and speaker, on site young adult behavior and career counseling, and, customer relations counselor (Blue Cross - Blue Shield).

​

Some other career areas of particular interests include:

 

• Displayed sensitivity to the cultural and linguistic needs of the clients and families served. 

• Led summer day treatment groups and therapeutic activities to teach functional living skills and address behavioral issues. 

• Developed goal-oriented psychoeducational and activity therapy groups to improve clients’ level of functioning 

• Helped each patient understand his or her illness and the contributing personal, social and economic factors. 

• Engaged with children individually to meet their emotional and physical needs. 

• Sparked imagination by helping children discover new things each day. 

• Fostered reasoning and problem solving through active exploration games and activities. 

• Identified signs of emotional and developmental problems in children and reported to parents 

• Established daily routines that were easy for the children to follow. 

• Managed an in-home daycare with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. 

• Worked with parents to develop and implement discipline programs to promote positive behavior.

​

I am proud and excited to be a part of the "My Angel" team. Our international outreach has proven to be a well respected program since its inception in the mid 1990's. It has helped many individuals and groups, non-profits and major corporates, in all areas of psychological enrichment, growth, and wellness.

 

My personal goal is simple; Learn from each day to become a better me and a better coach for my clients.
