Therapy

I help adults navigate distress and other emotional difficulties related to identity, self-worth, relationships, and career. Together, we’ll work towards goals such as deepening self-awareness, cultivating self-acceptance, recovering from stress and burnout, healing from trauma symptoms, and taking action on goals. I typically incorporate a mix of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, EMDR, and solutions-focused approaches depending on individual needs.

My style has been described as warm, empathetic, straightforward, and empowering. I am supportive while also holding you accountable. I firmly believe in the innate capacity of my clients to grow and I’ll work with you to identify your strengths, increase self-awareness, and live with more ease.

What RESULTS CAN I Expect IN THERAPY?

Results will vary depending on your goals of course, but here are some examples of what previous clients have reported gaining from therapy:

“I've gained a more grounded sense of myself...In many ways, I think I feel more comfortable living my own life on my own terms, not in a self-isolating way, but in a way that acknowledges that others may not understand why I do the things I do and that's part of being a separate human from others and that's okay.”

“She managed to strike a great balance between being gentle and firm, validating and thought-provoking, while helping me affirm my self-worth and navigate my environments in a way that was true and respectful to myself. Most importantly, Diana helped me feel seen and not alone, which I deeply appreciate particularly during the traumatic year I had.”

“Working with Diana expanded the way that I understand myself and helped me feel safer and more connected to myself and my family in really meaningful ways.”

Scheduling

The alliance between a therapist and client is an essential component for successful outcomes. Because of this, I initially meet with new clients on a weekly basis so that we can develop trust and establish a consistent routine. Session frequency may be adjusted over time as appropriate. I will work with you to find a regular time that works with your schedule.

Rates

I charge $365 for the first 60-minute initial assessment session and $275 for subsequent 45-minute weekly sessions. Payments are accepted via credit card.

Under the No Surprises Act, clients have a right to receive a “good faith estimate” of expected charges, explaining how much your care will cost. This will be provided as a separate document prior to beginning therapy. More details about this law and what it means for you can be found here.

Insurance

I am considered an “out-of-network provider” and do not accept insurance. Many insurance companies cover out-of-network providers and will reimburse between 60-80% of session costs. If your plan covers out-of-network providers, you would issue payment to me at the time of service and then submit a receipt to your insurance for reimbursement. I will provide you with a monthly itemized receipt, known as a “superbill,” for you to submit to your insurance provider.

Insurance benefits can be complicated to navigate, so I’ve provided a step-by-step guide to determining how much your plan covers. I’m happy to answer questions or assist during our consultation.
