Dara Grimes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, counselor and founder of A Better Mind, A Better Me, LLC. She engages her clients and addresses their diverse needs by cultivating a relationship of trust that is committed to problem solving. Dara firmly believes in honoring and observing discretion and care for the mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of her clients. She counsels them to actively transform their thinking and perspective to actualize what they deem impossible – whether it be overcoming anxiety, hopelessness, depression, relational challenges or fear.
Dara goes beyond just lending a listening ear and works alongside people to help them achieve intentional, discerning, health-centered living. She offers guidance and inspiration with compassion to those facing crises, life pressures, career challenges, family turmoil or mental illness with the goal of giving people the clarity and tools with which to identify and overcome obstacles. Over the years she earned the respect and trust of those for and with whom she worked, leading to her transition from confidant and sounding board to high profile individuals to her official capacity as clinical social worker and counselor. Dara combines her 15+ years of experience as a clinical social worker, both for the U.S. military and in private clinics working with families and youth, and incorporates what she gleaned from her 14+ years as a tour manager in the entertainment industry to advise her clients in confidently managing their daily life challenges in a healthy way.
Dara has long understood the importance of privacy and discretion when helping others work through their issues and that principle applies to all those whom she counsels.
Dara’s ultimate goal is to encourage others “do life better,” and the integrity of her work is at the core of A Better Mind, A Better Me, LLC. Dara also hosts a weekly A Better Mind, A Better Me, LLC podcast series which offers one minute reflections and tips on how to work toward healthier thinking and living.
