Getting to know Diana Dasraj

Growing up in an Indo-Caribbean family, I witnessed firsthand the struggles of a community that lacked access to mental health education and resources to help understand and process these issues. This deeply influenced my decision to pursue a career in mental health. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Touro College, which equipped me with the skills to support individuals facing mental health challenges. Since 2011, I have primarily worked in psychiatric hospital settings, focusing on psychosis, crisis interventions, and outpatient care. The pandemic brought significant changes, leading me to transition to private practice.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a therapist, I specialize in working with Gen Z and millennials, focusing on intergenerational trauma and life transitions. My therapeutic process is integrative, combining psychodynamic work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore and understand the deep-seated issues influencing their current behaviors, while CBT offers practical, actionable steps to address these issues. I also incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when appropriate, tailoring my approach to meet each client's unique needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Clients often seek me out because of my background and shared cultural experiences. They appreciate that I understand their values and challenges without judgment. One common piece of feedback I receive is about the impact of working on boundaries and how through it clients develop greater self-confidence and learn to assert their autonomy. This has led to significant improvements in their relationships and overall life satisfaction.
