Daina Haines
I'm a clinical social worker with formal training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and with a more informal style overall. I received my master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where I also trained at the college counseling center on campus and in the child welfare system. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in corporate communications for a media company. I would say I'm an active therapist and a laidback/flexible person. I do not think my clients see me as a "blank slate" but as another human, who happens to have specialized knowledge of how to alleviate symptoms and improve mental health. I take therapy seriously, but I also don't take myself too seriously, which hopefully creates a more comfortable environment when you are first opening up to someone you've never met before! I hope clients feel heard and understood after working with me, while also taking away concrete strategies to cope with life stressors and symptoms, and, ideally, an improved relationship with themselves: more self-compassion and confidence, and less anxiety, guilt and shame.
