Diana Pena, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Diana!

I have 21+ years of experience working in mental health. I have experience working with adults, children, and families in inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings. My experience working with various issues, including transgenerational and relational trauma, familial conflict, anxiety, depression, and other disorders.

My focus

I am experienced in working with individuals who face transgenerational and relational trauma, familial conflict, anxiety, depression, and other disorders.

My approach

I work with individuals from a holistic approach, considering all aspects of the individual's life (social, relational, emotional, mental, physical, cultural, and environmental) that impact their overall wellness.

My communication style

I believe one of the most difficult things to do in life is to face our issues and fears. At times, asking for help can be challenging; however, I've learned that life can't be done alone. I cultivate a safe, supportive, and genuine environment to help individuals do their inner work and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

As shared earlier, I have been practicing for over 21 years, and through these years, I have given myself the opportunity to be on the other side. To seek help and support, sometimes at our lowest point. This has not only helped my professional growth but also my personal journey. I am driven to help others achieve their highest potential!

My goals for you

My goal is to guide individuals to achieve their goals as this is their healing journey and I am here to guide and support them.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what is bringing you to seek support and what you would like to achieve in treatment. We will have a casual discussion and see if I am a good fit for you to continue with treatment.
