Introduction

Hi, Dear Diary Psychotherapy is a culturally responsive practice catered to individuals and family therapy with children, adolescents, and adults. If you at in a point in life, where you are ready to recognize and address the patterns in your life that are not working the best, it’s time to say YES to YOU! Step into your divine infinite wisdom. You are the expert of your life, and as such, together, we can discover your truest essence: the most awesome version of you. Welcome to the journey of therapy. Our treatment approach is guided by the following theoretical strategies: person-centered care, multi-systemic family therapy, CBT, and anti-oppressive treatment. We are committed to greater self-acceptance and self-esteem, ability to change self-defeating behaviors/habits, and better expression and management of emotions, including anxiety and depression. Many of the populations we’ve worked with have been in school settings, home-based treatment, court involvement, a history of homelessness, child welfare placements, and confinement through psychiatric hospitalizations. Because these settings can be restrictive, we dedicated to countering the narrative of learned negative cognitions. Healing starts with you. It’s the right time, right place, right person!
