Diana Duarte-Menendez, LMSW

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

Hello, I’m Diana Duarte-Menendez, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), and I’m here to walk with you on your journey toward healing and growth. In my practice, you are the expert of your own life. My role is to provide support, understanding, and the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels true to you.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll work toward your goals in a way that respects your values, experiences, and individual needs. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, I am here to help you develop the strategies and insights you need to move forward.

My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. I am here to support you in finding the answers within yourself and helping you unlock your strengths.

When you choose to work with me, you are choosing a partnership that values your growth and well-being. Outside of therapy, I enjoy hiking, yoga, cycling, and spending time with my dogs and family. These activities are part of my own journey toward balance and well-being, and they remind me of the importance of self-care in the therapeutic process.

If you are ready to begin your journey toward greater clarity, healing, and self-compassion, I’d be honored to support you along the way.
