“Dina is highly engaging, tactical, and what’s rare for a therapist, vulnerable. She shares her own experiences to empathize with you. It’s really powerful! She’s the perfect match for me as a woman navigating growing older in the tech industry and dealing with ADHD. Within our first couple of sessions, Dina provided me with impactful DBT tools that I still use on a daily basis, which have made a huge difference, especially at work. she’s extremely approachable and funny, and also asks tough questions. Exactly what you need from a therapist. She may just be the perfect fit for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out.”

Getting to know Dina Carreras

I’m Dina, a therapist with more than seven years of clinical experience supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I understand that emotional challenges can feel complicated and overwhelming, and my approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I focus on helping clients gain clarity, build confidence, and develop the tools they need to navigate life’s transitions and stressors. My work is informed by both professional expertise and lived experience. This allows me to connect deeply with the emotional layers of what you may be carrying. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship issues, financial or career-related stress—including tech-industry burnout—and autism spectrum support, especially around anxiety, overwhelm, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly and begin moving forward with resilience and self-trust.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients often describe my style as warm, steady, and genuinely collaborative. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I listen closely to your story and tailor our work to your needs, pace, and goals. You can expect a therapist who is compassionate; engaged; and committed to helping you understand what’s beneath your stress, patterns, or symptoms, not just treating what’s on the surface. Sessions with me are a place where you can exhale, reflect, and feel understood. I see therapy as a partnership. I work with you to build insight and skills that support long-term change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work usually begins with an initial session focused on understanding what’s bringing you in, your history, and what you hope to get out of therapy. Together, we clarify goals and identify the areas you’d like to explore or strengthen. From there, sessions are conversational and oriented toward both insight and practical tools. I integrate evidence-based approaches tailored to the individual or family system I’m working with. For some clients, this may include processing difficult emotions or past events; for others, it may focus on skill-building, coping strategies, or navigating ongoing stressors. Throughout the process, I check in regularly to make sure you feel supported and that our work continues to align with your needs. My aim is for therapy to feel like an anchor: steady, grounding, and genuinely helpful as you move through life’s challenges.
