Dr. Dawn is the founder and director of OC Kids Therapy. Dr. Dawn created OC Kids Therapy with the idea that we should look at the whole child before rushing to diagnose. After years of working in the field, Dr. Dawn found that children were being diagnosed far too quickly. This led to greater anxiety for the parents, frustration for the child and a lot of wasted time and money on misguided treatment.

Having three children of her own she was frustrated with the rush to diagnose and treat disorders that were oftentimes developmentally appropriate behaviors and challenges. Her vision was to create a space for families to treat the whole child and provide them with the tools to succeed.
