Diana Jean-Louis, LCSW

I have over 16 years of working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse, trauma, and other related emotional regulation disorders. Treatment is client center and tailored to the specific needs of the individual, couples, and families. My craft and skill when working with others incorporate, compassion, optimism, intuition, and working as a team. My treatment approach and clinical methods include being honest and forthcoming, without being insensitive, uplifting, and encouraging, without applying any pressure, and I understand the importance of being approachable and friendly. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is essential to provide adequate and appropriate services. Throughout my career, I have developed a specialized interest and focus in the treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, perfectionism, addiction, and anxiety.  I understand not all issues present the same, therefore I strive to personalize treatment to fit each individual's needs while maintaining an open, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and safe therapeutic space. I have over 15 years of experience working as a crisis intervention therapist working with at-risk individuals. I treated individuals dealing with a wide range of problems, including depression, addiction, and substance abuse, suicidal impulses, stress management, self-esteem issues, issues of aging, emotional health, and family, parenting, and marital or other relationship problems.
