Dina McManus, LCSW — Therapist in North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Dina!

I am a licensed clinical social worker providing client-centered, solution-focused therapy for over 25 years, with an established private practice since 2004. My goal is to provide a supportive environment that allows clients to identify and achieve their goals. I am currently licensed to practice in both New York and North Carolina.

My focus

I work with older adolescents and adults of all ages. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy.

My approach

I focus on a strength-based, client-centered approach to help you identify and overcome obstacles to your success.

My communication style

My clients find me to be both supportive and direct.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been a therapist for more than 25 years. For the last 20 years of my career, I have been responsible for the residential and outpatient clinics for a treatment center for at-risk youth and their families, with a mission of reducing out-of-home placement and penetration into the juvenile justice system.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative approach as we learn to build a trusting relationship.
