Hi, my name is Diane Darby and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Tennessee. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and I love what I do - supporting my clients in making meaningful change in their lives and moving in the direction of what matters to them. I prioritize creating a safe and nonjudgmental space. My therapeutic approach is flexible and holistic, incorporating various strategies to meet your individual needs. I am skilled in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, (EMDR), Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems and will utilize these approaches to support you in gaining insight, developing coping strategies, and achieving lasting change. Additionally, if it is of interest to you, I am also able to incorporate spiritual practices grounded in mindfulness. These practices support you in raising your consciousness in order to create alignment with your heart, body, and soul so that healing may begin.
In our first session together we will begin exploring where you are currently in your life, past history and goals for therapy. We will begin to develop a level of trust and safety as we go over this information as we set the boundaries for a working therapeutic relationship.
I have worked as a therapist for over 30 years, I believe my extensive experience as a clinician gives me the ability to provide unique insights into my clients lives. Additionally I am trained in contemporary modalities of therapy such as EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness based allowing me create treatment plan that is informed by experience and supported by technique.
I love working with women who are in life transitions, people with unresolved trauma, anxiety or heartbeak who are wanting to heal from old wounds and are interested in making lasting change to live a life of happiness and contentment.

My practice is client centered and I believe in a holistic treatment approach that involves the mind, body and soul. I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, visualization, as well as IFS, and EMDR.
IFS is used to address a wide range of psychological issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. It emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-healing as individuals explore and work with their inner world of parts.
I use EMDR primarily to treat PTSD and trauma-related conditions. It has also been used for other issues such as anxiety, depression, and phobias when those problems are linked to unresolved traumatic experiences.
I use this approach to acknowledge that family dynamics and interactions play a significant role in a child's development and mental well-being.
I have been using Trauma-informed therapy to address a wide range of trauma-related issues, including childhood abuse, sexual assault, combat-related trauma, accidents, and natural disasters. The goal is to support individuals in their healing journey, reduce symptoms related to trauma, and improve overall well-being while respecting their autonomy and dignity.

I am a 65 year old going thruogh a separation after 26 years of marriage. Diane was very compassionate to my situation and I felt validated and listened to. For me it was important to find someone close to my age so I could get some life wisdom. At the end of my session I felt at easy.

Diane took me in in the very thick of my suffering. I knew she was caring from the beginning. Warm and kind and had seen this type of trauma before. I look forward to building with her, to heal, become whole, and love myself.

I was initially impressed with Diane's profile and her approach and beliefs such as spirituality resonated with me. I was seeking a therapist who was experienced in her profession and equally in life. Diane's demeanor is direct yet warm, and authentic. I'm looking forward to what our next sessions may bring.
