Diana Kickery LMSW

My journey into social work practice officially began during the COVID-19 pandemic, after years of feeling called to use my passion for helping youth, families, and communities in a therapeutic way. My focus is on what matters most: creating safe and supportive spaces where people feel heard, understood, and empowered. My continual clinical training provides me with up-to-date resources for working with children, teens and adults in individual, group, and family dynamics. I am passionate about providing safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and their families, especially those experiencing family conflict or rejection while seeking reconnection through compassion, understanding, and acceptance. I enjoy integrating psychoeducation in self-regulation, coping, conflict resolution, and resilience skills. Meeting clients where they are is my priority. My approach is not one-size-fits all, but rather a collective approach to adapt strategies to the unique needs of clients. Therapy is a process of discovery and growth regardless of age. I work closely with parents to recognize how patterns may impact their child’s well-being, approaching each child with patience, empathy, and understanding. The best day to start is today.
