It takes a great deal of courage to begin the journey towards your best self. Whatever brought you to this journey, welcome! It won't always be easy, but the first step is officially behind you! My name is Falinda Dieujuste and I am the founder of Revive & Thrive Counseling. I started my practice after hearing the daunting stories from my friends and family about finding a consistent therapist to walk with them as they tackle significant life changes. For women of color specifically, it can be difficult to feel that mental health providers can understand the intersectionality that heavily impacts the way they navigate the world and provide them with a safe, non-judgmental space. I'm here to help fill that void. I empower high-functioning women over the age of 18 who have been impacted by depression, anxiety, trauma, and significant life changes to develop the tools necessary not just to survive, but to thrive! You are the expert in your own life, but I'm here to help! Let's work together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Typically in an intake session, we will discuss confidentiality, review your intake forms, and get into your story. During this session, I will ask you questions about your problems, your family, and overall mental health. You will not be required to share anything you don’t feel comfortable sharing and we will always work at your own pace. The first session allows me to tailor our plan to best suit your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years, with children, adult, and geriatric populations. As a social worker (LCSW), I have worked in several fields which have provided me with a well-rounded knowledge of people and allowed me to support them in working through the many challenges that come with grief, loss, uncertainty, and pain. Simply put, I know people. I understand their patterns and I can help you to see things in ways you haven't thought of before.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with young high functioning women of color over the age of 18 who are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their future life goals.
