Diana Washington, LCPC

My Mission

is to create a safe and comfortable environment where we can work together. We will team up to plan the changes you want to become your best self. Learning how to express your thoughts confidently, especially when facing challenges, is foundational to your success and freedom.

Therapy is about learning.

Together we will learn how to build trust and develop your own active, healthy habits for making positive and lasting changes. Together, we will explore ways to handle emotional stressors and challenges effectively. Together we can create obtainable personal goals and create a plan to achieve them. Along our journey, we will use coping skills developed through self-awareness. Let’s embark on this journey of growth and progress together.

Our time will be customized.

In our work, we will explore a range of therapeutic styles tailored to meet your needs. These include client and person-centered approaches, self-guided sessions, motivational interviewing, interactive and exploration-based techniques, strength-based methods, and an integrative approach that may include some homework for healing. Using these diverse approaches, we can discover your fullest potential for better mental health. Your well-being will be our priority, and I am here to support you along the way.

All you need is yourself.

Bringing your true self to our sessions is pivotal to achieving effective change together. However, I understand that a relationship dynamic is earned, and when you’re ready, I’ll be there to meet you. Investing in your mental health is a valuable step toward positive transformation. Recognizing your strengths and using your voice, you can create meaningful changes in your life.

Here are my credentials.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I attended the Illinois Institute of Technology and have over 20 years of experience working in a nonprofit setting, licensed for most of that time.
