Diahann JohnBaptiste, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Diahann!

I'm glad you're here. I provide support to clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relational issues, life transitions, and everyday stressors. I bring a warm, compassionate approach to help you navigate whatever challenges you're experiencing.

My focus

I work with adolescents, adults, families, and groups. My expertise includes crisis counseling, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, addictive behaviors, domestic and intimate partner violence, anxiety, depression, psychotic disorders, mood disorders, and religion and spirituality. I meet you where you are.

My approach

I use evidence-based practices tailored to each client with a holistic, client-centered, and culturally sensitive approach. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Christian Counseling, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-centered Therapy.

My communication style

I use active listening, reflecting, and open-ended questions during sessions. I show genuine interest in what you have to say, acknowledge that I'm listening and understanding, and engage with you throughout our conversation to create a supportive space.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been curious about understanding behaviors and helping people face challenging situations. I love exploring solutions to life challenges, discovering unhealthy patterns connected to dysfunctional behaviors, and helping people change their perspective to improve their experience of life.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to enhance coping ability, decision making, and relationships. Together we'll create a plan for your future by developing your awareness, self-knowledge, and skills. I provide unconditional positive regard and a safe space to establish trust, facilitate healing, and support growth.

Our first session

I encourage clients to become autonomous, self-confident, and empowered. I provide radically compassionate and accepting care to all clients. I believe a collaborative, safe, and strong relational connection is the foundation for a therapeutic space where you can experience empowered growth and change.
