Diane Tirado

My communication style

I value open, honest and transparent communication. I do believe things can be said in a thoughtful and supportive way and keep it real. I am an active and empathetic listener who gives you the opportunity to reflect on your experiences as I ask questions to help you get there.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist in 2012, I got licensed in 2019 but my road to becoming a therapist started way before then. My background in trauma therapy comes from experiencing complex trauma in my own life. I did not have the help I needed when I was young, so I became the person I needed.

My goals for you

I practice using specific, measurable, achievable and realistic goals with my clients. Setting goals in the beginning of treatments assist in us creating a road map that lets us track how things are improving with you.

Our first session

Our first session will focus on building our relationship as client and therapist. I am a person too, and I know that therapy can be intimidating. I promise that my goal is to always create a safe and trusting environment in our sessions. Let me do the work of establishing trust by creating this safe dynamic.

I identify as...
