Getting to know Dina Derilas

I work with individuals and families seeking support for chronic illness, anxiety, and life transitions. I specialize in cancer care, offering support for anxiety, depression, and trauma related to diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Nearly ten years ago, I was on the opposite end and had a diagnosis as well. That diagnosis was devastating. I realized right away that I needed someone to talk to, someone who could truly understand me with compassion and empathy. I immediately sought a therapist. Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals who have lost their lives to cancer and who have lost parts of themselves they will never regain.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I can intellectualize and empathize with what they are going through because I have been through it myself. I have worked with people whose doctors told them they had about a year to live and with parents who grieve the thought of leaving their children behind. I know how hard this journey can be because I’ve heard it time and time again. Now, after nearly a decade of helping others, I want to offer you the same support. I have walked alongside people and families affected by illness and want to do the same for you. Let me walk with you, too.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

If you are struggling to accept your situation, I can help you find acceptance through prayer, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. I am here to help you face your challenges. Reaching out is the first step. When you contact me, we will begin with a free phone consultation, where you can share what you are looking for and ask any questions you might have. During this conversation, I will explain the typical process and what to expect in our first session together. This helps ensure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Send me a message, and we can start scheduling a session today.
