Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore the underlying issues and collaborate to develop a plan tailored to your needs, helping you regain a sense of balance and control in your life. Many of my clients notice a gradual improvement in their symptoms within the first month, with sustained progress over time

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic space, where clients feel safe to explore their inner experiences. I bring a compassionate and empathetic approach to every session, which fosters trust and encourages openness. My deep understanding of evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and child-centered play therapy allows me to tailor my interventions to each client’s unique needs. I also excel in helping clients break down complex emotional and relational issues into manageable steps, guiding them toward solutions that promote personal growth and resilience. My years of experience working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults, have sharpened my ability to adapt and connect with clients across various life stages and challenges. Lastly, my commitment to collaboration ensures that my clients are active participants in their healing process, empowering them to take ownership of their progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve clients who are navigating mood disorders, anxiety, or stress related to relationship dynamics, family conflict, or life transitions. I understand that these clients often seek a compassionate, non-judgmental space where they can explore the emotional and psychological patterns that are affecting their daily lives. I can work with children, adolescents, or adults.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective treatment method for a variety of mental health concerns because it focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I support clients in therapy to understand how their distress is linked to their negative thoughts which impacts their feelings and behaviors. I find that this method of treatment results in long lasting change and resilience in new situations.

Psychodynamic

I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore unconscious patterns, unresolved conflicts and early life experiences that shape their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach is particularly effective for individuals struggling with relationship difficulties, chronic emotional distress and deep-seated patterns of anxiety and depression

Strength-Based

I use strength-based treatment approach by focusing on client's existing strengths, resilience and resources rather than solely on their struggles or deficits. This approach fosters empowerment, self efficacy and positive change

I've been in therapy since I was 8 years old. In and out some years...Diepriye is genuinely the best therapist I've ever had and I am not exaggerating. She has challenged me in this past month + more than I've been challenged before, in the best way. I came back to therapy seeking real change and personal growth. Our sessions allow me space to work through my problems but also to really get to the root of why patterns are showing up. I'm already making a change and I'm so grateful.

Although I am able to only select 2 identifying factors about Diepriye's therapy style, there is much more that should be acknowledged about how thorough and attentive she is when it comes to assessing details, explaining phenomena, and making meaningful suggestions. She was able to make me feel comfortable and capable of healing with clear communication & simple affirmations. Especially when I explained situations that currently bother me.

She was very warm and made me feel comfortable. I appreciate her solution focused approach and the fact that she talks about tools I can use. I'm very goal oriented and feel like she is a good fit.
