Diana Grillo

I believe that we all need a safe space to be our true selves. My goal is to provide you with that safe space. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York City with over twenty years of experience in healthcare and the mental health field, working with adults who are experiencing life challenges. Whether you are experiencing new transitions, stress, anxiety, health issues, or simply want to understand yourself more, we'll work together to create clarity and balance in your life. I believe that therapy is a tool that anyone can benefit from and works best when you feel seen and heard.

My approach is warm, compassionate and client-centered. I create a space where you can show up as you are, without fear of judgement.

I see my role as a supportive presence in your journey, not someone who has all the answers. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions and work at your pace. I believe healing happens in the context of a genuine, trusting relationship. My goal is for every session to feel like a safe place to be honest and for you to leave feeling supported, understood, and more grounded then when you started.

The first 1-2 sessions with me include a thorough assessment to learn more about you and what you're looking for from therapy, and ensure that I can be of assistance. I believe deeply in personalizing my therapeutic approach to match the unique individual needs of my clients. This means we will get to know each other in a natural and comfortable way. I will listen, ask questions, gather history, and ensure that you feel comfortable continuing your sessions with me.
