Dr. Diane Marques

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience supporting adults and families, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, panic, toxic workplace environments, grief, and depression. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adults, including those living with autism, ADHD, and AuDHD, and help all clients build resilience, foster self-compassion, and find a meaningful path forward to joy.

I approach therapy with curiosity, enthusiasm and I value authenticity. My background includes work in hospitals, schools, and community mental health settings.

• Navigating Anxiety: I use CBT tools to help you untangle worry cycles, challenge perfectionism, and reframe the persistent "what-ifs" that drive nervous system overload.
• Recovering from Burnout: Through ACT, I help you step back from survival mode to clarify what truly matters to you, establish protective boundaries, and build a sustainable rhythm aligned with your core values.
• Adapting to Major Transitions: I integrate DBT distress tolerance and grounding techniques so you feel emotionally steady, clear-headed, and resilient during periods of uncertainty.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you in. We will talk about your current concerns—whether related to anxiety, depression, or experiences of loss—and explore any relevant background that may help guide our work together.

You can expect a calm, supportive, and confidential space where you are free to share at your own pace. I may ask questions about your personal history, relationships, and any past experiences with counseling or treatment, but there is no pressure to discuss anything you’re not ready to share.

If you have questions at any point—about the process, confidentiality, or anything else—you are always encouraged to ask.
