Dina Bdaiwi MS, LMFT, LPCC, LPC at Help Send Therapy

Hi There~

I’m Dina Bdaiwi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and registered Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in CA. I also provide coaching services worldwide. I provide therapy virtual (throughout CA & TX) and in person therapy services in Irvine, CA. 

I am a Queer, Mixed (Latina & Arab), and neurodivergent provider. I am particularly interested in decolonizing mental health, neurodivergent-affirming care, body liberation, trauma recovery, identity development, intergenerational healing, LGBTQIA+ mental health, and community-based approaches to healing.

I have training in EMDR as well as Brainspotting with an emphasis in immigrant mental health. I specialize in co-creating affirming therapeutic spaces for neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and multicultural individuals. I integrate trauma-informed interventions, identity exploration, emotional regulation skills, and strengths-based approaches to support healing and growth.

I approach therapy collaboratively, centering clients as experts of their own lived experiences. I incorporate storytelling, curiosity, humor, mindfulness, and somatic awareness while exploring the impact of culture, family, and social contexts on mental health. My work emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and reconnecting clients with their values, communities, and sources of resilience.

I utilize Narrative, Relational Cultural, Feminist + Queer Theories, and interweave DBT skills curated for neurodivergent populations. 

I specialize in supporting Pre-Teens, Teens, Young Adults, and Adults through individual, relationship, and family therapy.
