Brighter Hope Counseling

---

Diana obtained her Masters degree in Social Work from Columbia University and has been a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years. She is licensed in both New Jersey and New York.

She has extensive experience with crisis management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and behavioral management. Her experiences in many varied mental health settings allowed her to gain the skills necessary to specialize in children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and family therapy. Diana has worked throughout North Jersey with the Children's System of Care for over 15 years providing crisis stabilization and ongoing treatment for youth and families.

Therapy sessions with Diana are interactive and challenging, with a dose of humor thrown  in. Starting a healing journey can be intimidating, but she believes that every person has the potential to move beyond their current barriers, and learn new ways to manage their thoughts and feelings.

In  warm, client-centered sessions, clients can expect to examine the  issues and experiences that brought them to therapy. Together, we will  find ways for clients to cope with their lives, and instill hope for a  greater future for themselves. 

Additional training as a yoga teacher allows Diana to utilize mindfulness concepts to supplement her therapy sessions.
