- Molly Muniz
  
  Director of Clinical Services
  
  Molly was a schoolteacher for over thirteen years when she recognized she had a passion for working with children and their families in a deeper capacity and was drawn to behavioral health. She went to grad school at University of Texas at Arlington and obtained her master’s in social work. Molly enjoys connecting with parents and guardians, listening to their concerns, and developing a solution together so that it is a win-win for everyone involved, but mostly the child. Her reward is having a parent feeling confident in the treatment plan. In her spare time, Molly loves to read on her front porch, watch the storms roll in and spend quality time with her three children.
