Dayna Coombs

My communication style

Some people are looking for someone to talk and process with; a sounding board or safe place to vent about their struggles and challenges. Others want guidance, solutions or a change in perspective. I offer both and strive to find the balance that works best for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

Throughout my life, friends, roommates and colleagues would often come to me for suggestions and advice. I discovered I really loved being able to help and support people. When I caught myself reading textbooks late at night for 'fun' I knew I found my niche; and the idea of becoming a therapist became exciting.

My goals for you

We will spend time in the first few sessions discussing your goals for treatment with periodic check-ins throughout the process. If things feel stagnant, I will check in with you to see how you are feeling and if a change in focus is needed. Ultimately, you dictate the direction and pace of treatment.

Our first session

I will want to get to know you, understand the concerns that prompted you to seek out treatment, and also allow you to experience my style of treatment well enough for you to see if this will be a good fit for you. I will either sit and allow you to take the lead, or start by asking you general questions.
