My Approach
Hi! I'm Princess Diane, a NYC-licensed therapist who supports individuals on their healing journey. I speak at various events to shift the dominant narrative to that of collective well-being.
Trauma-Informed lens: I am trained to support folx to be aware of triggers and the impacts in relationship to self/other. Trauma is ancestral, interpersonal and requires deep digging in a compassionate space. I will hold that container for your healing.
Decolonization stance: For many of us, systems of oppression affects our material lives. This is historical and present. I intertwine this knowledge to find creative ways of self and collective care.
Intersectionality approach: You have unique challenges. With a critical lens, we will decipher the intricacies of identity and how this impacts the solution to your problems.
​
I'm deeply committed to helping communities of color heal generational traumas that present itself in triggers, exhaustion, lack of motivation and low self-worth. I am interested in helping us thrive and rise above victimization and survival.
