About Dawn Therapy & Wellness Centre
Jesse Dale, Clinic Director & Owner
Dawn Therapy & Wellness Centre is owned and Directed by Jesse Dale.
Jesse works with youth, young adults, but is especially passionate about working with young men. He utilizes his background in literature to inform his therapeutic approach, seeking to help clients understand their own stories in new ways and write their next chapter. Jesse believes in working collaboratively with clients in an empathetic environment that allows them to better understand themselves and their future direction. He is especially passionate about helping young men and adolescents learn to control their anger and find happiness, meaning, and purpose.
When not at work, Jesse loves to go for long walks with his two Great Pyrenees dogs, Ghost and Mia, and his wife, Hailey. Jesse also loves playing guitar and is passionate about practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
In Loving Memory of Susan Dawn Ingersoll
The name Dawn Therapy & Wellness Centre was chosen not only to symbolize new beginnings, but also in loving memory of Director Jesse Dale’s late mother, Susan Dawn Ingersoll (1964 - 2022).
Jesse and his family are Indigenous and are members of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. Dawn Therapy Centre is located on the territory of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Jesse is committed to providing accessible and culturally informed mental health services and is honoured to provide these services in the rural location of Scugog Island.
