Getting to know Dina Macaluso

Dina started her career working with children and teens who suffered from severe emotional disabilities. She provided in-home treatment and coordinated services for them and their families, along with ongoing crisis intervention. In this role, she also co-facilitated a weekly parent support group, offering families an outlet to connect while learning effective coping skills. Working with adolescents and their families has been meaningful and special to Dina, and it is an area she wishes to continue supporting. Dina has an extensive clinical background, including individual counseling and collaboration with medical teams to ensure medication compliance and communication. She strives to make each person feel welcome and comfortable from the first interaction, offering a non-judgmental approach to all struggles. Psychoeducation is important to her, as it helps individuals and their families understand diagnoses and treatments that promote the best outcomes. Dina values guiding clients to identify effective coping skills and positive self-care, encouraging mindfulness and exercise. Her approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside a Person-Centered philosophy. “I believe everyone has a story worth telling. I try to be open, honest, and empathetic to everyone’s needs. While I cannot change a person’s situation, I can help them explore ways to cope and focus on what they can control. Life has ups and downs, and if I can help one person feel less alone and know someone cares, that is a good day. I believe we all have a purpose, and sometimes we need others to help us find it.” Dina earned her Master’s in Social Work from Adelphi University and holds a Bachelor’s degree from St. John’s University.
