Diana Phillips, LPCC (Dublin Location)
My name is Diana Phillips, and I am a Professional School Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. I integrate a variety of therapeutic models including person-centered, solution focused, strength based and cognitive behavior therapies in addition to mindfulness practices and other techniques to help my clients navigate their unique and personal life circumstances. My therapeutic focus is on clients experiencing life transitions and/ or having difficulty managing ADHD or anxiety, navigating grief or building healthy self esteem.
I know life will offer us many experiences including times of ease and times of turbulence. I believe during many of these moments, both in the messy and the mundane, we find ourselves needing support and skills we don’t already have. I am committed to creating an emotionally safe and open hearted environment wherein clients can feel heard and valued, creating a foundation they will use to realize their strengths, build awareness and learn healthy coping skills.
I continue to be shaped and see clients shaped by Maya Angelou’s sentiment: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” One of the most powerful therapeutic moments is when a client is able to see themself in their humanity and accept themself. And it is my deep pleasure to walk alongside them and witness that with them. Please reach out if you feel my space is one that would benefit you.
