Hello, thanks for visiting my page. I am Dr. Banigo, and I love to collaborate with patients and render needed assistance. I am a skilled clinician, and I provide clinical supervision to clinicians focused on sharpening their clinical skills. I am an adjunct professor. I encourage patients to actively participate in their care with other treatment providers, such as primary care physicians, psychiatrists, and others.

Dr. Diari is great therapist with warm, authentic approach to issues. She’s solution-oriented and calm and very uplifting. Being with her has given me and my wife tools for success in our marriage. I highly recommend her for couples therapy.
