Looking for a child/adolescent therapist?
Dina Abbas, LLPC
Therapy with teens doesn’t have to be a struggle. Dina makes it easy.
About Me
I’m Dina, a therapist who truly enjoys working with teens and preteens. I find they’re so easy to talk to, and I’m passionate about helping them navigate life’s challenges while empowering them to express themselves openly. With my experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding young people through some of the most important years of their lives, helping them build confidence, manage stress, and cope with issues like anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD.
My Approach
I create a welcoming space where your teen will feel comfortable being themselves—where they won’t feel judged, only supported. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing them down and help them explore new ways of thinking and feeling.
My Motto
“I love working with teens! They’re so easy to connect with and talk to”
I focus on helping teens connect with their emotions, be more mindful, and let go of what no longer serves them.
Channel Allen, LLPC
Areas of Expertise
I specialize in working with children and families, with a focus on treating anxiety, trauma, and depression. I'm especially passionate about helping individuals navigate grief, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges.
Therapeutic Orientation & Approach
My approach combines Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions openly. I often incorporate mindfulness and art therapy to deepen healing. Clients often tell me they feel more understood, less alone, and equipped with tools to handle everyday life. My goal is not just to help them cope—but to grow and thrive.
Therapeutic Style & Uniqueness
My style is warm, direct, and empathetic—with humor used thoughtfully when it helps. I adapt to each person’s communication style and meet them where they are. What sets my approach apart is how personalized it is. I don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all method—I tailor each session to the unique person in front of me. I strive to see the whole person beyond past experiences or labels, and support their journey with respect and authenticity.
Inspiration
My desire to become a therapist was shaped by a deep passion for helping others uncover their true selves. I was inspired by my mother’s ability to see people for who they are—not what they’ve done—and to listen beyond the surface.
Personal Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through basketball, tennis, volleyball, and swimming.
