About Dawn Therapy
Our Mission
The highest standard for compassionate mental health care and clinical excellence.
At Dawn Therapy, we believe in providing the highest standard of mental health care at the intersection of clinical excellence, ethical practice, and human compassion. Founded by Sahar Mozafari, who has spent the decade dedicated to mental health services and ethical care, our clinic was built to move beyond "one-size-fits-all" support. We provide the residents of Richmond Hill and all across Ontario with care that is evidence-based, culturally informed, and deeply personal.
Our Beliefs and Values
Rooted in Clinical Research
Our approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), provided by a diverse team of over 30 specialists. Every psychotherapist at Dawn Therapy is a Registered Member of the CRPO, ensuring your care meets the highest provincial ethical and clinical standards. Through these structured methods, we help clients develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate lasting self-awareness.
Honoring Cultures and Identity
We believe that your heritage, identity, and lived experiences are central to your healing, which is why we have built a diverse, multilingual team capable of providing care in 13+ languages (including Farsi, Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, and Spanish). Dawn Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and affirming space for individuals from diverse backgrounds. Whether you're a refugee or newcomer, LGBTQ+ individual, an adult child of a dysfunctional family, or you’re navigating challenges like trauma, depression, anxiety, or significant life transitions, we are here to support you.
Holistic Mind & Body Wellness
Mental health does not exist in a vacuum. Research shows that your nutrition significantly impacts your cognitive function, emotional regulation, and stress response. At Dawn Therapy, we provide holistic and integrated care, with Registered Dietitians (RDs) on our clinical team to support the vital link between your physical and mental well-being.
We believe that therapy is not a quick fix but a transformative process that requires commitment and participation. However, small steps can lead to profound, lasting change with the proper support.​ ​You don’t have to go through this alone. Let’s take the first step toward healing together.
