Getting to know John Piero Diana
JP encourages clients from all walks of life to enter the room exactly as they are and greets them with his natural warmth, curiosity and sense of humor. With great respect for the courage it takes to be vulnerable with a new therapist, JP strives to create an accepting and non-judgmental space to share all the thoughts, emotions, and memories that are hard to talk about. JP approaches therapy as a joint creative process where, once JP fully understands your vision for the next chapters of your life, he can offer questions and insights that help you develop a rich, values-based, healing storyline, resulting in fulfilling your goals. JP utilizes an eclectic, person-centered approach drawing from various clinical modalities, including humanistic therapy, DBT, CBT, Gottman Couples Therapy, Narrative therapy, and person-centered therapy.
JP is a Licensed Master of Social Work, who has studied social work and clinical psychology at Boston College and New York University. In his internships he worked at Public Allies, a community-based organization offering groups and workshops to promote mindfulness and mental health awareness, and Urban Health Plan where provided individual therapy and case management services to adolescents, and developed and provided mindfulness, emotional regulation and community building workshops for afterschool programs. Upon graduating, JP worked as a mental health clinician for Family services of Westchester providing individual therapy and crisis intervention for children, adolescents and adults.

PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT REIMBURSABLE BY ANY MEDICARE OR MEDICAID PLAN
***Please be aware that you must have a 15-min informational appointment prior to your appointment with JP and documents that must be completed via our portal prior 24-hours prior to your appointment time.
Our practice name is Roots and Branches Therapy. After you book your initial therapy session on ZocDoc you will get a call, email, or text from our team to schedule a 15-minute informational appointment with the clinical director of Roots and Branches Therapy, Nicole Gonzalez. The purpose of this appointment is to (1) ensure we are able to provide the services you are looking for, (2) discuss insurance/financial questions, (3) decide if you will meet in-person or via telehealth. Nicole will also answer any questions you have. After your informational appointment, Nicole will then send you intake documents via our portal that must be completed before your first session with your therapist.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session with all our therapists will be approximately 60-minutes and every weekly session thereafter will be 45 minutes. For individuals, our therapists will begin by taking your life history to better understand the context for your current goals and challenges. Over the next few weeks, you and your therapist will decide upon your goals for treatment. Each week, you will have the opportunity to process traumas, share challenges you are facing, celebrate victories, learn tools/techniques and strategize/role-play how to use them. Over time, your therapist will offer insights into your behaviors, validate your emotions, and help you become more connected, more effective, and less symptomatic.
Couples therapy is a similar process with a few exceptions in the intake process. Couples will meet for 1 (occasionally 2) sessions where they will share their history as a couple. After the first session, you will complete a Gottman couples assessment online that will help us quickly identify your strengths and challenges as a couple. In the next two sessions, your therapist will meet with each member of the couple individually to take their life history and understand the relationship in the context of their individual story. In the fourth session, you will review the results of the assessment and any insights your therapist has based on the prior sessions. Together, you will prioritize where to focus treatment. Each week, you will address current/past hurts/challenges as well as learn and practice skills to help you cope with them.
