My name is Diana Marie Castro-Strotman. I am an lgbtqia+ affirming therapist and community member. I specialize working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a specific focus on survivors of trauma. I graduated from Manhattan University in 2017 with a Master of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have 8 years of experience as a clinician.
I provide a therapeutic environment that encourages personal growth through gentle empowerment and increasing awareness of self. I believe we have the capacity to create positive change in our lives when we are ready.
I approach individual therapy through an eclectic model which allows me to customize treatment based on your individual needs. I prefer co-creating treatment plan goals with you so you feel comfortable getting what you want out of our sessions together. I work with individual clients and also couples.
I prefer to work with couples who are certain they want to be together long term. Couples therapy would include learning new ways to navigate building connection with one another and practicing effective communication skills.
As a clinician, I provide support, encouragement, and education in order to help you build skills. The skills we practice together, you can utilize during and outside of sessions. My ideal clients are those who are motivated and ready to make positive changes in their lives. If this is you, feel free to schedule an appointment with me today.
