Daina Havens, MSW, RSW
Calgary-based therapist offering in-person and online sessions.
As a clinical social worker and holistic wellness practitioner I bring over 23 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journeys toward healing and growth.
About Me
I'm a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and over 23 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through some of life's most challenging chapters.
My background spans both clinical mental health care and holistic wellness practice. On the clinical side I work with anxiety, depression, grief, sex therapy, developmental disabilities and both family and couples navigating complexities.
I also draw on extensive training in massage therapy, Reiki, reflexology, hydrotherapy, and yoga — because lasting wellbeing rarely lives in just one dimension.
Additionally, I have an extensive background as a high performance athlete in several competitive sports, giving me a blended insight to performance anxiety, perfectionism and self worth associated as we transition into adult life.
I'm also a mother and stepmother in a blended family, which means I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding to the complexity of family life and relationships.
If you're looking for a therapist who will take you seriously, challenge you thoughtfully, and show up with genuine warmth, I'd love to connect.
My Approach
The relationship between therapist and client is, in my experience, the most important ingredient in meaningful change. I bring warmth, curiosity, and yes, a fair bit of charm to every session.
My work is rooted in a blend of clinical expertise and holistic care. Together we look at the full picture of your life — not just what's happening right now, but the habits, experiences, and patterns that have shaped you over time. Understanding where something comes from is often the first step toward changing it.
With over 23 years of experience, I draw on a range of evidence-based modalities and adapt my approach to what makes sense for you. Mental and emotional wellbeing are inseparable from the body, and my training in wellness practices informs how I think about healing in a broader sense.
Warm and collaborative, with clear structure. I'll challenge you when it serves your growth, and support you when you need steadiness. The goal is not just to feel better, but to understand yourself more fully and build the tools to keep moving forward.
