Hello! My name is Daina Kakana and I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I understand how difficult life’s challenges can be and believe that everyone can use support as they navigate through life. Throughout our sessions, I will always endeavor to provide a space where clients feel comfortable and at ease as they receive the help they need and deserve to live a more balanced and happy life. Often, we may feel bogged down by anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and other struggles that make life feel overwhelming. We may also feel as though we are not on the right path, or that we are too broken to be successful.

Do you ever think you are crazy for feeling the way you do? Are you afraid that nothing will ever change? Sometimes therapy alone is not enough. Genetics play a significant role in your mental health. And prolonged stress and suffering can change your brain chemistry. When prescribed wisely, medications can minimize the static caused by a chemical imbalance, thus improving your ability to think clearly and use therapy to make better decisions. Explore your options. You do not have to keep feeling the way you do.

Welcome! I’ve been practicing in medicine for two decades; first as an RN, and then as an Adult NP. I worked with clients through depression, anxiety, grief, sleep disorders, pain, and chronic and acute medical conditions, for end of life care, and interventional procedures. After seeing the difficulty my patients were having accessing more specialized mental health care, I decided to advance my degree and completed my Post Masters as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Across the Lifespan at SUNY Stony Brook. I offer mental health care in NY & CT primarily via telehealth and meet with clients in person on an as needed basis.
