Getting to know Diana K. Gruhl
"Do you want to have more peace, direction, and focus in your life? Are you struggling with a life transition or ongoing challenge?
I empower adults and seniors to break through barriers and navigate life challenges so that they can create more fulfilled lives.
I work with clients to address issues including health conditions, caregiver issues, life transitions, relationship issues, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment problems, meaning and purpose inquiries, self-esteem, issues of aging, and long-term planning/resource navigation. I love using skills and experience to empower and support clients.
In addition, I use a holistic approach with each client, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness interventions, Motivational Interviewing, Compassionate Communication, Strengths-Based and Solution-Focused therapies. I bring warmth, compassion, and depth to each session, to help clients uncover and transform obstacles, re-discover inner strengths and wisdom, develop healthy coping skills, and take steps toward their goals so that they can feel more empowered on their journeys.
I have been providing assessments, counseling, and support services for adults and seniors since 2008. I obtained my MSW degree with honors from California State University- Long Beach in 2010, and then worked as an Associate Clinical Social Worker with clients, families/caregivers, and care teams in settings including a psychiatric clinic and health care/dialysis clinics. I obtained my LCSW in California in 2019 and my LCSW-C in Maryland in 2020. I have been providing therapy and support services for older adults and caregivers this past year.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking in nature, practicing yoga, meditation, dancing, sharing healthy meals and conversations with loved ones, reading, writing, creating art, and spiritual community.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
**I will be starting to work with clients remotely on October 9th, 2023,
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients will feel very supported from me and discover self-awareness, inner strengths, and develop and improve skills to live a more fulfilled life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
