Getting to know Dr. Dina Karvounides
I am a clinical psychologist passionate about supporting youth, young adults, and their families as they navigate life’s challenges. Over the past 16 years, I have worked with diverse patients coping with anxiety, depression, adjustment to chronic illness—particularly chronic pain conditions—challenges related to gender and sexual identity, and difficulties in peer and family relationships. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from National Louis University, Illinois School of Professional Psychology, and completed a Fellowship in Pediatric Psychology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I am thrilled to be a part of CAYA Care and look forward to working with you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My expertise comes through years of work at multiple academic medical centers in the country, including my recent role as pediatric psychologist for 8 years in the pediatric headache program at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. I have also worked with the humanitarian organization, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders as I am passionate about supporting and improving the health of citizens globally, including expatriates, immigrants, and refugees.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My engagement in sessions involves a joint understanding and agreement of the challenges you would like to see change in your life, combined with recommendations and a treatment approach that is evidence-based. I am committed to providing the best care possible through an empathic environment that is sensitive to all areas of difference and a trusted partnership that is foundational to improve coping and change.
