About Us
Meet Molly
Molly is one of many children in Arizona who experience some of the most unimaginable things each year. Just like Molly, each child has brought curiosity, playfulness, and wonder into the world, as well as challenges when difficult experiences take over their young minds. Through stories like Molly's, we can see how children and their families can find hope, healing, and reconnection.
At Dawn Institute, we provide compassionate, individualized therapy that helps children process difficult experiences through play, creativity, and supportive guidance. Just like Molly, children learn to release what has been holding them back and rediscover imagination, curiosity, and joy.
Molly’s story also highlights the importance of parents in a child’s healing. At Dawn, we support not only the child but also the family, helping parents heal from their own challenges and to reconnect, nurture, and navigate their child’s experiences. This helps the entire family grow stronger together.

"This is way more than talk therapy and has produced measurable results in my life."
