My name is Daina McAdams, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan and Georgia. I help adults who feel stuck in a place of unhappiness or uncertainty. My clients include people who struggle with major life changes and adjustments, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress management.
A bit about my approach
Sometimes, through our best efforts, life can become muddled, and we find ourselves stuck in a place of unhappiness or uncertainty. We all experience challenging times, whether it is due to depression, anxiety, or life stresses. Counseling can be a safe space to process these experiences and learn new strategies for coping with these challenges. I very much like a positive and person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge and we go at your speed. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which uses soft challenging to reframe your thoughts, and Mindfulness, to help you be in the present moment.
I currently see clients Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am-5pm

Before I met Daina, I struggled finding a therapist who I clicked with. I'm grateful for her compassion & down-to-earth nature. She is EXACTLY what I needed & I'm glad I matched with her!

A beautiful, compassionate, & understanding human being who goes above & beyond for her patients. She is a godsend!

I needed a safe place to share my life, stressors and ideas. I didn’t need someone to tell me how to fix myself, but rather someone to share in the journey with me leading the way. Daina has been my sounding board, confidant, and friend in these last few months together. I highly recommend not only better help to make therapy accessible to all people, but Daina specifically for her patience, kindness and guidance when it comes to therapy and life.

I love Daina, she’s incredibly helpful and insightful. Even in the brief amount of time we have per week, and despite the difficulty of putting in the work, I really feel a wave of relief with every session.

I bounced around with a few therapists on Betterhelp and the third time is the charm. Daina sets clear expectations, creates a defined plan of care, and in every session I come away with a new insight about myself and the world and feel more in control of my mental health.

Daina is so insightful! She literally changed how I perceive my situation and gave me a deeper understanding of what might be transpiring. Her help was invaluable. I highly recommend Daina!!

I am so grateful that I was originally matched with Daina! When I was able to stop therapy before, she made it abundantly clear that I could resume therapy with her at any point if I ever felt the need. Well, the need definitely came back in spades! She is just the right person for me, and I am so glad and relieved to be able to pick right back up with her instead of having to have started new with someone else. She is just the right balance of all the things I need most in a therapist.
