Paulette Diggs
About me
Welcome to Diggs Counseling connections. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, struggling with anxiety, depression or finding it difficult to navigate relationships? For over 15 years, I have worked with children, teens, adults and families. My passion has been helping people move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered. My commitment is to not only help individuals manage their symptoms but to uncover the root causes of distress and equip clients with lifelong coping strategies. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and effective space for healing and growth. I offer individual and family therapy sessions that are tailored to your specific needs, blending the warmth and acceptance of humanistic principles with the structured, skill-building nature of CBT. (cognitive behavior therapy) My goal is to empower you and equip you with a deeper understanding of yourself and practical strategies for navigating life. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, and I commend you for considering it. Feel free to call or email me for a brief, complimentary consultation to discuss your needs.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first appointment is an introductory session focused on understanding your needs, getting to know each other, and discussing your goals for counseling.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to balance warmth with effectiveness. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel understood.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who is open to understanding themselves better and making meaningful change in their life. They may be struggling with sadness, anxiety, stress, or life transitions that feel difficult to manage alone. They are interested in understanding how their thinking influences their emotional experiences and daily choices. They value being treated as a unique individual with personal values, strengths, and life experiences. My ideal client is willing to collaborate actively in therapy and view it as a shared process rather than something being done to them. They may feel unsure or stuck but are open to gentle challenge and self-exploration. . My ideal client values self-growth, self-compassion, and honest reflection. Ultimately, they are seeking both relief from distress and a deeper sense of understanding, purpose, and connection with themselves and others.
