Message from Therapist

I view this work as a vocation and believe in keeping therapy affordable and accessible. I thrive when getting to the root of an issue and assisting clients to see themselves and others differently. My goal and purpose is to assist in shifting thought patterns that are not helpful and to provide hope and a new outlook to my clients.

I am licensed and offer virtual Telehealth sessions throughout New York State and Florida, in addition to in-person sessions at my office location in New York City. 

Practice Info

Bio:
Growing up in South Brooklyn, I was surrounded by the sounds of Mandarin, Russian, Yiddish, Korean, Hindi, Spanish, Italian, Georgian, Turkish, Greek, and Arabic, among many others. From an early age I was intensely curious about other cultures and how they differed from my own.

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, I chose to study both Psychology and Anthropology, as I felt that the two disciplines were inseparable; I believe that we cannot truly understand a person’s habits, choices, and patterns of thinking unless we understand where they are situated. A chance encounter with an explosion near Grand Central Station during this time helped me understand the impact of trauma first-hand and sent me down the path of seeking to understand how to heal it as a result.

My post-graduate training was completed in an outpatient medical setting, with extensive experience with both adults and children. My orientation is primarily integrative but I believe that the most powerful component of success in therapy is based on the fit of the therapist and client relationship.

More About Diane Botta, MSW, LCSW

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, I chose to study both Psychology and Anthropology, as I felt that the two disciplines were inseparable; I believe that we cannot truly understand a person’s habits, choices, and patterns of thinking unless we understand where they are situated. A chance encounter with an explosion near Grand Central Station during this time helped me understand the impact of trauma first-hand and sent me down the path of seeking to understand how to treat it as a result. 

A thinker as well as a feeler, I enjoy challenging my clients to think about situations differently. I am deliberate about asking questions in sessions that will open up deeper layers of conversation and provide opportunities to challenge your perspective, an intervention also known as socratic questioning. 

I utilize an integrative approach in my work, drawing from psychodynamic and cognitive philosophies and I believe that therapy should provide clients with tangible tools to make real changes in their lives.

In our work together we will work to challenge existing negative core beliefs that you may hold. I am partial to evidence-based interventions and tend to utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with most clients. However, as a clinical social worker, I believe that one’s environment and the broader social context are important to consider as well.
