Diana Tumminia , LCSW-R

I am a licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of professional experience in the field of mental health and counseling. I offer a safe and nurturing environment to develop insight and work through personal challenges. My goal is to establish a collaborative relationship with each client based on trust, support, and accountability in order to help them find their own path toward healing, personal growth and overall wellness.

I strive to move away from the stigma and labeling that traditional abnormal psychology offers and instead focus on my clients’ strengths and mutually developed goals to help them reach their best potential. My approach to therapy is eclectic where I work on implementing a very individualized treatment plan geared to address specific issues of each client. I tend to combine insight-oriented/psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, Jungian/archetypal, psychosomatic, and mindfulness-based interventions during my sessions with clients and provide ample time for relevant psycho-educational activities.
As a practitioner with a long experience in healthcare, in addition to working with common issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, or relationship problems, I provide health related mental health services: psychotherapeutic interventions offered to individuals dealing with chronic illness and pain, undergoing cancer treatments, or facing any terminal diagnosis. I offer caregiver or grief and loss support counseling to affected family members. I also offer services for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and maternal mental health, including complicated pregnancies, working with women at various stages of family planning and postnatal period, as well as pregnancy or infant loss and bereavement.
I received certification in MARI assessment in 2010 and integrate my unique specialty as a Certified MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) Practitioner to offer a comprehensive psychological assessment both as a part of my standard evaluation for new psychotherapy clients and as a stand-alone service for clients seeking guidance for a particular issue or a general direction toward a personal transformation.
