Getting to know Diera Parham-Carruthers

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have been serving clients in Virginia, Georgia, Washington State, and Washington D.C. for over 14 years. During this time, I've been committed to helping individuals and families overcome life's hurdles with compassionate, evidence-based care. My knowledge pool comes from diverse academic backgrounds at George Washington University, North Carolina State University, and Walden University, along with eight years of honorable service in the U.S. Armed Forces. I am a National Certified Counselor and hold professional licensures in Virginia and D.C. I have a range of certifications such as CSOTP, CCATP, CAGCS, and CSTIP, and my professional background includes various roles in mental health and therapeutic settings. I learned my craft from experiences in different roles ranging from working as a therapist in a 24-hour children's residential psychiatric facility to being a laboratory technician in the Armed Forces. Now, as an independent therapeutic contractor and business owner, I bring a holistic and individualized approach to counseling. I dedicate myself to creating a safe haven where clients can share experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing. I work with both adults and children to address a myriad of mental health concerns like addiction, depressive disorders, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, problematic sexualized behaviors, anxiety disorders, mood dysregulation disorder, adjustment disorder, and neurodevelopmental disorders. My therapy style is practical and client-centered, using evidence-based techniques tailored to each individual. I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship and encourage individuals to find a therapist with whom they feel at ease. I embrace collaboration and maintain that client and therapist must unite to achieve substantial goals. I respect that I may not fit every client's needs but remain committed to helping those keen on embracing change. My practice i
