Therapists in West Nyack, NY

Are you looking for a safe place to freely express yourself, heal, connect, and find joy again? Maybe you are a teen striving to see yourself more clearly and embrace your most authentic self, or perhaps someone seeking to reduce your pain and suffering, and grow past the trauma. You may be a young adult aiming to establish intimate, genuine and real relationships, or a caring parent wishing to reconnect with yourself and your child. If any of these resonate with you, I am so happy you're here. I am Diana and I provide trauma and self-esteem therapy to teens, young adults and parents.

Psychotherapy is a very personal and unique endeavor. Your life experiences, strengths, and current needs along with the therapist’s personality, training, and background will determine the characteristics of your treatment. My personal and professional development have made me sensitive to and interested in personality characteristics and sociocultural factors that shape personal experiences. Therefore, I strive to understand the unique familial and cultural context in which your specific difficulties have developed. Together we can explore how and why they came to be and discover more effective ways to cope in your current life.

Taking the first step towards getting help can be difficult. I want to make this as easy as possible for you, and am happy to speak with you by telephone before scheduling your first appointment. My specialty is working with individuals, couples, and families who are having relationship and communication difficulties. I also provide support for those with depression, anxiety, stress, and those struggling to maintain a work/life balance. The process is collaborative, and can combine both psychotherapy and coaching.

Understanding why people suffer, how they change, and how to help them live more satisfying and gratifying lives is a fascinating, huge, and important undertaking. For this reason, finding a clinician with appropriate life experiences, training, humility, and willingness to learn what makes each person unique is one of the most difficult challenges for those seeking counseling/therapy today. I would like an opportunity to help you to live the life you have always wanted. "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."
