Getting to know Driola Dega
I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety treatment, and trauma-informed care. As an LMFT based in Manhattan, I support individuals, couples, and families both in person and online.
I am committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families in developing authentic communication, understanding emotional experience, while thoughtfully considering their sociocultural backgrounds and the intergenerational relational trauma that may influence their relationships. We can collaboratively explore how adverse childhood experiences, strategies to avoid emotional distress and unhelpful attempted solutions to problems impact the quality of your life. What I find helpful is shaping an authentic relationship with one's identity, also addressing and reframing expectations on self, others and the environment.
I primarily use an integrative approach, blending relational psychodynamic, systemic, trauma informed, experiential, and cultural sensitivity to accompany you on your journey of self discovery. With emphasis on awareness and insight, I encourage individuals and couples to seek solutions that resonate with their uniqueness.
Psychotherapy is a process that allows for long term change. If you seek therapy, you are craving change, compassion, understanding. I believe in challenging beliefs, and providing my clients with feedback!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer 15 minute free phone or video consultation.

I have had experience with 2 therapists prior to her. In comparison to others, I feel like she actually listens to my problems. She is very insightful into my life. I use a lot of the tips she gives me in the session throughout the week which is a real pick me up. I wanted to work through my problems in life without medications, and she has given me the tools for it. I 100% recommend her.

Driola is a therapist who is caring, patient, respectful, attentive, and very intelligent. She approaches her work with a holistic understanding that we are multifaceted beings. She knows when to push you and when to draw back to guide you through difficult conversations. If you want someone who can really challenge you, push you out of your comfort zone, and help you build the proper tools to not only cope but live, look no further
