Sarena Dyac, M.S. (Pre-Licensed Clinician)

Hi everyone! My name is Sarena and I’m here to help. To say I am passionate about my work is an understatement- it is so fulfilling to be in a position where I have the opportunity to support others in overcoming individual challenges, learning more about how their mind works, and changing their lives for the better. For those of you who are considering therapy for the first time or are taking another chance after a previous counseling experience: congratulations on taking this important step! Many of you may find the idea of working with a therapist to be daunting or overwhelming at first, but I assure you that we are in this together and that I will be here to guide you every step of the way.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience and Behavior (with a concentration in Justice Studies!) from the University of New Hampshire, then graduated with a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from New England College. I have worked in the mental health field for over 6 years now and I have had the privilege of helping diverse client populations in a number of different therapeutic settings. At Healing Connections Counseling Group, I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and more. My counseling style incorporates elements from multiple evidence-based psychological theories because every client has unique needs and life experiences, so a method that proves helpful for one person could be unhelpful for another. The primary theories that I utilize are acceptance and commitment theory (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I provide Telehealth sessions and in-office therapy in Concord, NH. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have!
