Dr. Diana Perry
Dr. Diana Perry is a licensed professional counselor with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling with a concentration in Chemical Dependency. She takes an eclectic, person-centered approach, integrating relational and attachment-based theories, Jungian depth psychology, cognitive-behavioral tools, emotionally focused therapy, trauma-informed care, and harm-reduction practices. At the core of her work is the belief that meaningful healing happens in safe, trusting relationships—where each person’s story is met with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
Diana specializes in supporting individuals facing grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, burnout, and the complex effects of trauma and toxic stress. Her approach gently helps clients make sense of their experiences, reconnect with themselves and others, and build lasting inner and outer resources.

She is especially committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, helping clients explore and embrace their identities while building resilience and self-understanding.
