About
They also offer therapy for teens/adolescents and healing support groups on various mental health topics. The practice is fully Telehealth-enabled, offering all sessions through a secure, HIPPA-compliant video platform. Founded by Blessing E. Dawson, LCSW, Better Generations aims to help individuals, couples, and families break generational patterns and build healthier legacies-intentionally. Their work is deeply rooted in understanding how family dynamics, cultural experiences, and unaddressed trauma shape how people show up in their lives, relationships, and mental health. They believe healing is not just personal-it's generational, and that what you heal has the power to change everything that comes after you. The practice serves clients located in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, and is proud to be a Black-owned, woman-owned mental health practice.
