Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Making the decision to start the healing journey can be a tough one, so I truly appreciate your consideration in having me walk alongside you. I support folx in recognizing their own resilience, exploring intersectional identities and sense of self, and navigating life's stressors and changes. Maybe you're experiencing a shift in your life. Maybe there are parts of yourself that you need support with reconciling and integrating. Or maybe you have experienced trauma and are ready to process it. Whatever it is, I'm excited to bear witness to your growth and be part of your journey.

Counseling can be an opportunity to experience a greater quality of life. I enjoy helping others to reach that place. Providing clinical counseling for over 25 years, I've assisted survivors with all forms of trauma, anxiety and stress disorders. My practice has included working with military members and families as well as providing counseling to many Spanish speaking Latino populations . My specialties range from employee assistance for work related stress, issues of addiction to all substances including gambling and also working with the trauma of immigration. I can also provide evaluations for immigration hearings.

I strongly believe that every individual is unique and no person or family is the same as another. As a bi-lingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I have had the pleasure to work with a diverse group of adults, children, and families. I have over 25 years experience working in psychotherapy, crisis intervention with domestic violence, child court advocate, as a forensic psychologist, and as a family court mediator. I assist children and families as they work through challenges and move toward rebuilding their self-confidence and creates a more positive outlook in life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering Teletherapy services only. My private practice provides individual therapy and couples counseling for people from various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds and a wide variety of concerns. I offer therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese. As an immigrant from Brasil, I also understand firsthand cross-cultural issues so I can help people who are having difficulties adapting to a new country.

You have always been a high achiever at work. At home, you are the rock of your family. Everyone always looks to you for help. You take care of everybody around you, but you always neglect yourself. Maybe because you’re keeping busy to avoid having to deal with your past hurtful experiences. You feel lost and lonely despite having people around you. No one knows about your struggles. But now you’ve reached a breaking point. Your anxiety is out of control, and it is affecting your work and personal life. You are ready to stop that infinite loop that keeps replaying. It’s time to take care of you. It is now time to find healing.

You're trying to better your life, but others in your life just aren't. Maybe someone you love struggles with addiction and being around them can get tense and uncomfortable? Can't they see that there is more to life than senseless drama, dysfunctional relationships or addiction?" We don't have control over other people, but we do have control over what we allow & don't allow in our lives. You're ready for change, willing to put in the work & I'm here for it all.

Welcome! I'm Diana. Bienvenido! Me llamo Diana. Do you feel overwhelmed with life's stressors? Are you feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward? Are you having a difficult time finding balance in your life? My practice is inclusive of all individuals with an emphasis on supporting women with professional careers and in academics. Together we can assess what you would like to improve in your life and create a plan to achieve your goals. We will use a variety of approaches that are specifically tailored to your needs to cultivate a balanced and fulfilling life.

Looking for support for your child or adolescent? Teenagers and adults struggling with various life or mental health issues? I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space that allows my clients to comfortably explore issues impacting them. I take a client centered approach to therapy, utilizing various modalities to support each client’s individual needs and, aid them in achieving their goals.

It’s hard to be human. There are no manuals on how to deal with our thoughts and emotions. Sitting with vulnerability can be scary and uncomfortable. As a Client-Centered clinician I plan to meet you in the here and now and help get you to where you want to be in a holistically happy and healthy manner. We all could use a bit of guidance, and at times, a push in the right direction.

Feeling stuck, immobilized and unable to change your life? What's holding you back from being your best self? Through a behavioral lens we work together to identify the behaviors and patterns that are holding you back from your goals and systematically relearn healthy patterns and coping mechanisms that will empower you to make the best decisions for yourself, your relationships or your family. I work from a person centered approach creating a safe space where we work together to help determine your needs and goals.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? Had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry, but not really sure why? Thoughts and worries that keep you up at night? You are not alone, many of us struggle with depression and anxiety in our everyday lives. These struggles might cause us to not perform our best at work, keep us from concentrating in school and cause us to say things that we don’t mean to the ones that we love. I can help you identify what you want to improve in your life and create a safe space for you to be able to overcome the barriers preventing you from succeeding.

My approach to therapy begins with the understanding of each person's unique story. With understanding your goals, I will collaborate with you to create the life you want while providing support, insight, encouragment, and the tools you need to get started. I strive to provide an atmosphere where you feel safe to come as your most authentic self in order to address life's challenges.

I am accepting clients for therapy, coaching, and testing. E-mail is the best way to reach me for a consultation. As a clinical psychologist, I offer therapy and coaching for personal/professional growth. I work with clients to enhance coping with stress, bolster resiliency, and overcome obstacles to living more fully. I also specialize in psychological/personality and intellectual/academic testing and assessment. I have worked with clients of all ages from numerous intersecting ethnic, racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds, as well as a wide range of sexual and gender orientations and various abilities/disabilities.

No longer alone. We are here with you. In life, we experience different events, such as the recent pandemic, financial stress, overwhelming anxiety and pressure, the loss of a loved one, the unexpected divorce, a difficult birth, etc. and adjust the best we can, using our strengths and supports. We mostly do well. However, sometimes our coping strategies are insufficient to achieve our long term goals and heal our emotional and/or relationship wounds. You turn to others for support and guidance, such as family, friends, religious and ethnic community, and sometimes, you want to go deeper within yourself to seek out the answers.

We practice from an integrated approach to wellness. We combine psychology with hypnotherapy, dreamwork and spirituality. The goal is to tap into the wisdom and healing powers that reside just below conscious awareness. The emergence of self-compassion, self-love and forgiveness builds the foundation that supports transformational healing. We trust each person is the expert in their own life and each person holds the answer they are seeking. Our role is to help those with whom we work to uncover the wisdom and resources they possess.

Are you feeling lonely, sad, frustrated, unhappy? Experiencing difficulty with relationships, personal or in the work place? Have you recently experienced a loss of a loved one or a relationship and are having difficulty navigating the emotional impact? Maybe you are feeling stuck in how to manage a life change or just stuck in your own mind? Struggling with connecting with others and communicating your needs? Possibly having difficulty in recognizing the person looking back at you in the mirror or not liking what you see?

Trauma may constantly have you second guess your own judgement or being able to feel confident using your voice. Trauma can make you feel as though you want to hide from your life and that doing simple things every day is like trying to carry around a 1000 pound weight. Trauma may also be impacting your relationships through self sabotage. If you are stuck in repeated cycles in your own mind, lack confidence, feel like no one understands you or have been manipulated-you are safe here. You deserve to feel empowered, loved & respected. Together we can work to redevelop the relationship you have with yourself and your life.

I have experience working with adolescents and young adults in a variety of contexts who are struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. My work with adolescents and young adults is a combination of empathetic and direct. I use techniques from the CBT, DBT, and Person Centered therapeutic lenses to aid clients in managing their substance use, processing and healing from trauma, and regulating their moods. The goal of the therapy is to empower individuals to overcome their challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall mental health and well-being.

Chances are, at this time, when you are seeking therapy, you might be feeling alone, worried, and scared. The truth is that you are never alone; help and support are always available. Shining your light in times of darkness is possible and can be met with new hope and exciting beginnings! My focus with clients is on healing rather than treatment. I am committed to providing quality, affordable psychotherapy for everyone and am proudly associated with Axis Mundi Center for Mental Health to help accomplish my mission. (axismundicenter.org)
