Diana Mack, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Diana!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've been a social worker/therapist for over a decade and feel lucky and proud to be able to do what I get to do, which is to help and support people. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, but my work has primarily been with the adult population.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood management, and suicidal ideation. Common concerns include communication problems, boundary-setting, family dynamics, separation, divorce, and life transitions like post-grad adjustments, job changes, or preparing for retirement.

My approach

I'm curious by nature and encourage you to explore your life with curiosity too. We'll focus less on 'why' things happen and more on 'what' you want to do about them. Whether you're uncertain or know exactly what you want to work on, we'll collaborate to help you get there.

My communication style

I create a non-judgmental, understanding, and accepting environment. I take an earnest approach and will always be honest with you because authenticity matters. I believe you can be honest and kind, firm and gentle.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, my parents taught me that offering time and understanding matters more than money. I loved volunteering and helping others. Not feeling understood early on inspired me to become a therapist—to offer people the understanding and validation we all need.

My goals for you

I focus on helping you work toward your goals from the start. I like to ask: if your life could be different or improved with no limitations, what would that look like? We'll create a plan together based on your answer.

Our first session

We'll start with brief introductions and explore what brings you to therapy. If you need time to warm up, we'll move at your pace—just let me know. You're the expert on your life; I'm here as your professional partner. Together, we're a team.
