Acuity Counseling Therapist Bio

Diana Tilson, MSW, LICSW

Individual Therapist

Diana’s first priority is to listen. Truly being heard, non-judgmentally and supportively, has amazing transformative power. By working collaboratively with you, Diana will help you identify new strategies and ways of thinking to help you feel better and achieve your goals.

Individual Therapy 
Struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma can be isolating and scary. Often it feels like our reactions are out of our control. Sadness and fear can hold us captive, making us withdraw from family and friends; but this withdrawal and avoidance also excludes us from joyful experiences. If you are stuck in a pattern that is not working for you, Diana can help you break the cycle. By identifying the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you stuck, Diana can help you learn healthier ways of coping so that you can rejoin life and reconnect with joy.

Diana pulls from a variety of perspectives to tailor her approach to fit your needs. Some people need a compassionate listener to help them reflect and find insight as they work towards personal growth. Others are looking for a more structured approach and benefit from using custom-made workbooks to learn new skills. Whatever your style, Diana is here to help you.

How I Can Help 
Your time is valuable and Diana ensures that your time in therapy is well-spent by regularly checking in to ensure you are making progress towards your goals.
