DaiDra Thompson
LPC • Licensed Professional Counselor
About
Compassionate guidance through life's ups and downs is at the heart of DaiDra Thompson's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over eight years of experience, DaiDra believes that everyone possesses inherent strengths to navigate life's challenges, even when those strengths may be temporarily obscured.
DaiDra specializes in working with a diverse clientele, including children, adolescents, families, and adults. Her areas of expertise encompass trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and grief and loss. This broad range of specialties allows her to address a wide array of mental health concerns with skill and empathy.
What sets DaiDra apart is her commitment to tailored therapeutic experiences. She firmly believes that therapy should not follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, DaiDra takes the time to listen and understand the uniqueness of each client's personal experiences. Her person-centered approach emphasizes the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship, focusing care on the specific needs of each individual.
DaiDra's therapeutic toolkit is well-equipped with evidence-based practices. She has specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused therapy. This diverse skill set allows her to draw from various techniques to best serve her clients' needs.
Accessibility is a key component of DaiDra's practice. She offers both in-person and telehealth services from the Squirrel Hill office, ensuring that clients can receive support in the format that best suits their needs and comfort levels. DaiDra's warm invitation to potential clients reflects her eagerness to meet them where they are and embark on a journey of healing and growth together.
