Leading Mental Health Clinics in Glasgow and Ayr Drop Franchise Status to Open Independent Practice
After nearly a decade of providing top-quality mental health care, a group of leading clinics in Glasgow and Ayr have taken a new leap into independent ownership. The Dawn Practice officially opened its doors on October 1, 2025, in Glasgow City, Bearsden, Newton Mearns, and Ayr.
Led by Dr. Michelle Muniz and her husband Tomas Garcia, along with their multidisciplinary team of clinicians and support staff, The Dawn Practice has been a trusted resource for mental health support in Glasgow and the West of Scotland for the past 10 years.
Partnering with NHS authorities in the communities they serve, the clinics have been instrumental in addressing mental health care waiting times and providing first-class mental health care and assessments.
Now, with their transition to an independent model, The Dawn Practice aims to continue providing the same high-quality care, but with a more personalized and progressive approach tailored to the needs of the local communities.
When asked about seeking mental health care, Dr. Muniz stated, “You’ll rarely regret seeking support. It can be profoundly life-changing, helping you shift your focus forward instead of feeling stuck or weighed down by the past.”
The call for stronger neurodiversity services in Scotland has been growing, with the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland advocating for increased support for conditions like Autism and ADHD. The Dawn Practice is directly addressing this need.
With a multidisciplinary team of nearly 50 psychologists, psychiatrists, and speech and language therapists, The Dawn Practice offers tailored mental health and neuroaffirmative care. All clinicians are fully registered, highly experienced, and committed to delivering trusted, evidence-based therapies.
Their services include neuroaffirmative care, providing assessment, diagnosis, and support for conditions such as Autism, ADHD, and other neurodiverse needs. They also offer mental health treatment for conditions like anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD. Their comprehensive support includes an integrated team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and speech and language therapists, and their approach is personalized, with evidence-based therapies tailored to individual and family needs and goals.
With over 15 years of experience supporting communities across Glasgow and Ayr, The Dawn Practice is committed to delivering leading mental health care and neurodivergent support to the people of Glasgow and the West of Scotland. Their dedication and expertise make them a trusted resource for those seeking mental health care.
