Great to meet you!

Feeling anxious more often than not? Caught between who you were and who you're becoming? You don't need to have it all figured out to start therapy, just a willingness to try. I'm Diana Grillo, an LCSW in New York with 20+ years of experience helping adults, especially women, work through anxiety and major life changes like career shifts, motherhood, loss, and changing relationships. My background includes many years working in hospital settings, where I learned firsthand how much people need to feel truly heard during their hardest moments, not rushed, not judged, just supported. That's the foundation of how I practice today.

My approach to therapy

In session, we'll combine practical CBT tools to change anxious thought patterns with body-based (somatic) techniques to calm your nervous system, so you leave with strategies you can use that same week, not just insight.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're facing a career change, becoming a parent, ending or beginning a relationship, navigating grief, or simply feeling anxious more often than not, my goal is to create a space that feels warm, compassionate, and genuinely client-centered, therapy that meets you exactly where you are, without an agenda beyond helping you feel more like yourself again.

If this resonates, I'd love to talk. I offer a free consultation so we can see if we're a good fit before you commit to anything.
