About

I am glad you decided to read my profile. My name is Diahann JohnBaptiste, and I am a licensed Professional Counselor based in Newnan, Georgia. I have over 10 years of direct clinical mental health counseling experience that includes Christian Counseling, and an additional 20 years of administrative experience working in the mental healthcare industry. I have worked in a variety of settings utilizing talk-based therapies to provide support to clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, learning differences, relational issues, life transitions, stressors, and everyday life decisions. My approach The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are integrated evidence-based practices that are individualized to each client with a holistic client-centered, collaborative, and culturally sensitive approach. I utilize various techniques and skills drawn from recognized therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Christian Counseling, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-centered Therapy. My focus I specialize in providing therapy to adolescents and teenagers, adults, families, and groups. My expertise includes crisis counseling and stabilization, trauma, PTSD, Grief and loss, addictive behaviors, domestic and intimate partner violence, treating symptoms related to anxiety, depression, psychotic disorders, religion and spirituality, and mood disorders. My unique approach is to just meet you where you are. My communication style I utilize active listening techniques, reflecting, and asking open-ended questions during psychotherapy. Active listening involves showing interest in what my clients have to say, acknowledging that I am listening and understanding, and engaging with you throughout the conversation. My journey to therapy As far back as I can remember, I have held interest and curiosity in understanding behaviors.
