On this episode of Elevating Voices of Leadership, we welcome Dawn Marie‑Luna, a bilingual licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, professor, and visionary guide whose work blends culturally responsive care with deep emotional healing. Based in Long Beach, California—and licensed in both CA and Texas—Dawn brings over a decade of clinical experience with children, families, and first responders to the forefront of transformative mental health and leadership.

A proud Latina and fierce advocate for healing justice, Dawn created the ALBA Method—a heart-centered framework rooted in Attachment, Love, Breath, and Action. She draws from liberation psychology, trauma-informed practices, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients not just survive—but reclaim joy, voice, and wholeness.
