Dina Bdaiwi MS, LMFT, APCC at Help Send Therapy

Hi There~

I’m Dina Bdaiwi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in CA. I also provide coaching services worldwide. You can catch me doing therapy via Telehealth or in-person walk and talk therapy in Irvine, CA.

I am so here for the Girls, the Gays, and the Theys, especially teens and young adults dealing with low self esteem, anxiety, sad times, eating disorders/disordered eating, body image, gender identity, LGBTQ+ identities, and childhood trauma.

With my Mexican and Syrian roots, I’m all about uplifting mixed folks! I am currently putting together a workshop for mixed folks “Mixed, Not Confused” so stay tuned! Also an immigrant, I help clients navigate the feels around immigration status and mixed-status families to promote self empowerment and connection.

I am 100% an eclectic therapist. Here’s a peek at my therapy approaches:

• EMDR: Trauma work using eye movements and body awareness to help reduce PTSD symptoms.
• Feminist Therapy: Creating a space that centers your voice, raises consciousness, and decolonizes thoughts.
• Relational Cultural: Understanding clients in the context of their culture, family, history, and community support.
• Narrative Therapy: Co-creating affirming stories about yourself and the world.
  HAES (Health At Every Size): Embracing body image and eating habits without pressure to change, celebrating your body as it is.
• Mindfulness-Based Practices: Mindful breathing, somatic practices, guided meditations, and visualizations to manage anxiety and trauma symptoms.

~Remember~ You’re more than just your body and appearance. My motto? Be Who You Needed When You Were Younger. Got questions? Hit me up! Let’s see if we vibe. ????
