LCSW, 10 years of experience
My name is Diana Tavares. I am a patient and empathic Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am passionate about creating a sacred and safe space during the therapeutic process for you to feel confident in your ability to create positive changes in your life. I believe that everyone is deserving of a loving relationship with themselves, the world, and those around them. In our work together, my hope is that we create a new toolbox of coping mechanisms and break personal and generational patterns that no longer serve to enhance the quality of your life and for you to live more aligned and at peace.
In our first session, we will work together to gather and discuss the important information that will allow me to best support you in your mental health journey. We will then discuss your treatment goals. The treatment plan is our map and will support us throughout treatment.
I have 9 years of experience working with diverse populations (children, adolescents, young adults, elder adults) and in diverse environments (home-based, school-based, drop-in center) and feel confident working with a multitude of populations. I hold a very sacred, judge-free space for my clients to discuss their emotional experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to go inward, reflect, and want to connect to themselves in a more supportive way and create change that supports their well-being. Honesty with self and openness is important.
I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Positive Parenting Program, and more. I am a meditation facilitator and incorporate mindfulness practices, meditation, and breathwork into my therapeutic work. I believe there is a strong connection between our mind and body and take on a ‘whole person’ approach.
