Getting to know Dina Smith

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker specializing in working with teenagers and adults who face a wide range of challenges, including cancer-related stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, adjustment issues, communication difficulties, and grief. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the potential to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I encourage clients to embrace the possibility of change and to recognize their own worth and capability. Most importantly, I aim to be the person in your life whom you feel comfortable sharing the best—and the most challenging—moments with.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client’s unique needs, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based techniques. I bring five years of experience specializing in oncology-focused counseling, a highly specialized area of practice.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I believe each client is the expert of their own life. I work alongside you, encouraging curiosity and helping you navigate challenges. I customize my approach to meet your needs—whether offering a supportive space to process emotions or providing guidance to promote meaningful change.
