Dara Chanin

My communication style

I create a warm and welcoming atmosphere of acceptance where you can explore freely without fear of judgment. I use active listening and show empathy and validation through verbal and non-verbal cues.

My journey to mental healthcare

What initially attracted me to this field was a strong desire to help and support others and a genuine concern for people's wellbeing. What drives me is seeing the positive impact when people feel accepted and valued and find their inner strength.

My goals for you

I approach setting goals at your pace and in small obtainable increments to ensure success.

Our first session

The first session is focused on building trust and rapport, explaining the therapeutic process and confidentiality. It's a time to gather information about your needs and reason for seeking therapy along with identifying your goals.

I identify as...

• Female
