Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Macomb, MI

I am Diana. My motivation in pursuing a career as a clinical therapist is to help others grow a deeper understanding of themselves. I've worked in the mental health field since 2014. Graduated from Wayne State University in 2018 with a Master of Social Work degree and received a graduate certificate in alcohol and drug abuse studies. Working as a clinical therapist since 2018 within outpatient community mental health, a residential treatment center, and currently at a group practice has shown that empathizing with individuals' needs allows me to help passionately achieve their mental health goals.

I believe that making the decision to enter into counseling is admirable. Each individual has unique experiences and unique struggles, but it is important that the individual knows that although the individual is unique, the individual is not alone. A strong therapeutic relationship between a counselor and client helps clients realize they are not alone as they explore their hurt as well as their strengths, and as they find hope. I would be humbled to create a trusting, nonjudgmental, and safe environment for you to heal and grow emotionally and spiritually, and to support you during an unprecedented time.

I am a board-certified therapist with a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I was clinically trained as a social worker by the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan Health System Depression Center, where I also conducted research on a variety of mental health issues.

As a person on my own long term recovery journey from addiction and mental illness, I know how difficult it can be to overcome the obstacles of this world. I remember praying for the strength to reach out, but also that the person reaching back would understand on a deep level how to help me.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You may no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as: anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

To say that life is hard is an understatement. There is no shortage of challenges that often lead to us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, down, anxious, or hopeless. When these difficult emotions occur, we are often vulnerable to engaging in behaviors or making decisions that are not in line with the person we wish to be. Therapy helps provide the tools you need to thrive (or, in some circumstances, survive) and offers a space where you will be accepted, supported, and empowered. Therapy also aids in better self-understanding, enabling you to remain present amidst tough emotions while fostering more positive ones.

I am passionate about helping my clients discover their full potential. My goal is to build genuine trust with you, promote personal growth, and enable healing, and restoration. Together, we will define your path and make a plan for you to become the person you want to be. We will explore your past and learn coping strategies to deal with your daily challenges, and fears. My approach includes unconditional positive regard, and a genuine concern for your well-being. I make use of many modes of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBD), Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused, as well as others.

There are few things more profound than the human capacity for growth, resilience, and connection. In my practice, I identify and explore options with clients to empower them to nurture these abilities and create an optimal state of being. I maintain a warm and engaging style that allows clients to share their stories, heal, and achieve their goals.
