It’s a pleasure to meet you!

Text displaying the name Diana Pickinpaugh, LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families across in-home, foster care, and medical/clinical settings. This background has shaped my understanding of how complex life can be—and how important it is to feel supported along the way.

You are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, insight, and practical tools.

Where do we start?

In our early sessions, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. Together, we’ll develop realistic goals and determine whether to focus on present concerns, past patterns, or a combination of both—always at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand what you’re experiencing, develop practical coping tools, and create meaningful change.

If you are ready to begin, I am here to support you…

You do not need to know which type of therapy you need. We’ll choose approaches based on your concerns, goals, and preferences.
