Therapist in Columbia, Maryland Diana Gruhl, Therapist

Do you want help navigating life transitions and challenges so that you can break through barriers and have a more fulfilled life?

I help adults and seniors address limiting beliefs and patterns, and work through life challenges including health conditions, caregiver issues, life transitions, relationship issues, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment problems, meaning and purpose inquiries, self-esteem, issues of aging, and long-term planning/resource navigation. I love using skills and experience to empower clients to meet personal goals.

Specifically, I use a holistic approach with each client, incorporating Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness interventions, Motivational Interviewing, Compassionate Communication, Strengths-Based, and Solution-Focused therapies. I bring warmth, compassion, and depth to each session, to help clients uncover and transform obstacles, re-discover inner strengths and wisdom, develop healthy coping skills, and take steps toward their goals so that they can feel more empowered on their journeys.

I have been providing assessments, counseling, and support services for adults and seniors since 2008. I obtained my MSW degree with honors from California State University- Long Beach in 2010, and then worked as an Associate Clinical Social Worker with clients, families/caregivers, and care teams in settings including a psychiatric clinic and health care/dialysis clinics. I obtained my LCSW in California in 2019 and my LCSW-C in Maryland in 2020. I have been providing therapy and support services for older adults and caregivers this past year.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking in nature, practicing yoga, meditation, dancing, sharing healthy meals and conversations with loved ones, reading, writing, creating art, and enjoying time with spiritual community.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
