Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker in San Diego, California. My primary background experience is in helping clients to regain/increase control over their mental health, via developing increased insight/understanding of symptoms, identifying and utilizing coping skills, developing positive support systems, and increasing ability to problem-solve/navigate challenges. I have worked with adults in multiple settings, including those experiencing active crisis within acute locked psychiatric care, clients coming into an outpatient clinic for mental health services and counseling/groups, clients utilizing substance use disorder treatment individually and in groups, and adult clients with developmental disabilities in the group home setting.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and offering you support.

Hello, my name is Dayna Hunt and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in the State of California. I was born and raised in Northern California, specifically Marin County. I have lived in Southern California and also Seattle, Washington. I have traveled across the United States as well as to Europe and lived a short time in Australia. I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, spending time in nature and with family. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree at California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo, CA and my Master of Science Degree in Counseling Psychology at Dominican University in San Rafael, Calif. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and problem solving. I knew I wanted to be a counselor at a very young age and began pursuing psychology early in life. My professional experience in the field began 27 years ago, when I began formally studying relationships and the different roles people play in their lives. I have worked with families, couples, teenagers, children and individuals in the private practice setting, family service agencies, schools and in the corporate setting. I utilize DBT training, also known as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which taught me how to help others focus on improving distress tolerance skills, interpersonal skills, mindfulness and emotion regulation skills. I utilize CBT training, also known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which taught me that thoughts matter, as they serve to create our individual reality. I believe if people examine and change their thoughts, they can change their life. Finally, I utilize a client centered, Rogerian approach, which in simple terms means, I meet people where they are at. If they want to improve their relationships, I try to help them to consider a new way of thinking as perspective is everything. I help them to increase healthy communication skills, decrease conflict and improve boundaries. This is what I help people do.
