Diovanti Serrano

I know starting therapy can feel awkward or intimidating. Maybe you know exactly what you want to talk about, or maybe you just know something feels off. You don’t need to have the perfect words or arrive with everything figured out. Show up as you are, and we can figure it out together. My goal is to create a space that feels warm, authentic, collaborative, and human—where you can explore relationships, identity, family, stress, life transitions, or whatever else you’re carrying without feeling like you have to perform or have it all together.

Whether you’re in the early stages of exploring a potential neurodivergent identity, or processing a recent self or formal diagnosis, I’m here to support you. I’m passionate about working with clients on this journey, helping them navigate the complex emotions that often arise—excitement, curiosity, and validation in discovering more about who you are, alongside grief and anger for the time spent feeling othered or broken. This is a deeply personal journey, and together, we can create a path that honors your unique experiences and needs.

In our work together, we will focus on helping you:
• Find confidence in navigating healthy relationships
• Learn how to self-advocate
• Identify neurodivergent-affirming people and spaces
• Break free from the cycle of high achievement and burnout
• Become attuned to the needs of your nervous system and develop skills to better regulate its responses

I work with individuals who are often left on the margins of traditional therapy models—Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent individuals who may have been made to feel that their identities or experiences don’t fit the mold. In our sessions, you’ll never be asked to minimize or hide any part of yourself. I believe in creating a space where all parts of you are welcome—your personality, culture, and lived experiences are integral to the work we do.

My approach is both challenging and supportive, direct yet affirming. I’m committed to creating a therapy space that values your autonomy and centers your lived experiences, particularly if you hold marginalized identities. As a therapist, I weave lessons of self-advocacy and resilience into our work, always mindful of the broader oppressive systems we navigate. I encourage clients to provide feedback on our therapy relationship so that together, we can create a dynamic that serves you best without reinforcing harmful systems of power or control.

I also believe that self-disclosure and authentic expression are crucial in our work together. Therapy is not just about following outdated rules of professionalism but about showing up fully as ourselves, both therapist and client. This authenticity allows us to build a stronger, more human connection, which is at the heart of meaningful healing and growth.
