Diana Miranda

With a passion for guiding clients towards resilience in the face of life's obstacles, Diana Miranda, LAC, brings a unique and comprehensive approach to mental health counseling. As a Licensed Associate Counselor in Arizona, Diana draws from her master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore the root causes of their challenges and work towards greater well-being.

Diana's extensive experience spans across various age groups and mental health concerns. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults, addressing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, addictions, mood disorders, trauma, and stress. Her ability to connect with diverse clientele is further enhanced by her bilingual capabilities, offering counseling services in both English and Spanish.

At the heart of Diana's practice is an eclectic approach that combines different methodologies tailored to each client's unique needs. Her therapeutic toolkit includes elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Existential Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or tapping), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Expressive Arts Therapy, and Feminist Therapy. This diverse range of techniques allows her to adapt her approach to best suit each individual client.

Diana's counseling philosophy is rooted in the understanding that each person experiences life differently, shaped by their upbringing, observations, and personal experiences. She believes that counseling can be beneficial in addressing both current problems and long-standing issues, guiding clients towards self-awareness, self-compassion, self-kindness, self-care, and ultimately, self-love.

In her sessions, Diana focuses on helping clients recognize their innate ability to become resilient. She works collaboratively with her clients to develop essential skills such as inner strength, coping mechanisms, grounding techniques, and behavioral strategies. While providing a supportive environment, Diana also believes in accountability and gently challenges her clients to achieve the changes they desire. Through this balanced approach, she empowers individuals to navigate life's challenges and work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
