Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Dr. Diara Anderson. I am a licensed clinical psychologist.

I have over 15 years of experience. My areas of focus are person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approaches, Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

My passion is working with individuals who have trauma, depression, and anxiety. I also love providing services to individuals who are experiencing grief and daily stressors

My approach to therapy

I’ve helped many individuals heal from childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and other forms of trauma and PTSD issues. It has been very rewarding to see my clients perceive themselves, the world, and their future from a new and healthy perspective as they recover from trauma and learn to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and life stressors effectively.

What you can expect from me

I am here to promote emotional well-being, meaningful relationships & overall wellness so that you can live a peaceful and enjoyable life.
