Dina Flynt, PhD., LMHC is a licensed mental health counselor and Co-owner of Home Again Counseling. She has worked in the mental health field helping individuals and their families for over 20 years.  Dina has experience in a variety of settings, including private practice, the foster care system, community mental health and the school system.  Dina takes a holistic approach to therapy. She knows body, mind and spirit are all connected and past traumas affect all three. By exploring the negative thought patterns we have about ourselves in a nonjudgmental, supportive, and safe environment, she helps clients develop a better understanding of their feelings and behaviors. Reprocessing these feelings and thoughts helps you develop better coping skills, healthier relationships and improves outlooks on life.  To help with those “would’ve, should’ve, could’ve” thoughts, she teaches mindfulness skills to help clients get out of their heads and be more in the present.  As a parent, she relates to the feeling of losing control. Dina's goal is to work together with you and help you reach a place where you feel at home with yourself.
