Testimonials
I have been seeing Dina for a few years due to severe anxiety. From the moment I walked into her office I felt comfortable. I have shared so much with Dina and not once have I ever felt judged, uncomfortable, or anything but thankful for her guidance. I have gone from suffering with anxiety to living with it and I have Dina to thank for that.

I would not be person I am today without Dina. I feel like divine intervention brought me to her a few years ago when I was not in a very great place. She seems to have a way of understanding you better than you understand yourself. In addition to her professional and educational qualifications, Dina’s vast worldly experience provides a unique perspective on all kinds of different situations and relationships. And yet, somehow when you sit there, you feel like you are just venting to a friend who gives REALLY great advice. She is kind and funny. She is supportive and motivating. I honestly cannot recommend Dina highly enough!

I was crushed under the responsibility of making many different decisions by myself. Dina listened to my problems, explained the nature & depth of my depression, and she encouraged me to make small and steady steps forward to help me through this difficult time.
When I first met Dina, my mind was racing and my anxiety and depression were out of control. This is where Dina’s gift lies. She helps one develop skills to deal with the joys, the sorrows, relationships, and everyday challenges that one faces in life. I have come to value and appreciate her expertise, insight, empathy and true dedication to the mental health profession. Dina has been extremely valuable in helping me identify and build on my strengths. With her support, I have also learned how to target areas to work on for more personal growth.

Dina,
I’d like to express my gratitude to you for helping me with my anxiety through our therapy sessions.
Since never experiencing anxiety in my 33 years of life, or perhaps at least not to the extent that I’ve experienced it earlier this year, this was a new and at times, a terrifying trial for me in life. I had no idea what to expect, how to mitigate anxiety and I was so naive before. Naive in many ways: thinking that “antidepressants alone will do the trick,” the awful ways that society makes us shamefully feel for “seeing a shrink” and just overall naive for not understanding — and underestimating — how serious mental illness is.
Not only have you helped me, but you changed my perspective on so many levels.
Through our therapy sessions, you helped me uncover the root causes to my stressors and anxiety, how to better control and get out of my state of anxiety, and just helping me to be more relaxed in life.
Thank you so much for helping me. You are truly a fantastic professional and I without a doubt will refer others to you.
All the best,
Mark
From the first session with Dina I knew she wanted to help me reach my therapy goals. We met and I told her what I wanted from our sessions and she listened and made a plan with me. Over time I have seen and felt the positive results from my therapy with Dina. She gives me goals and together we set the timelines to achieve them. She is professional, caring, and listens to my needs.
Thank you Dina.

I would highly recommend Dina to anyone looking for a therapist. She has helped me to understand how the brain processes racing thoughts and given me the tools and skills to calm an overly anxious mind. She is a compassionate listener who makes it much easier when taking first step in getting help. I am so grateful someone recommended Dina to me.
