About

Diana Mayer, M.S., LCMFT, is an AAMFT Clinical Fellow and Approved Clinical Supervisor with over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. She specializes in the treatment of childhood and adolescent anxiety and depression, parenting support, and issues related to immigration and acculturation.

Diana has extensive experience helping people navigate emotional challenges and major life transitions, including parental separation or divorce, immigration, family loss, and school-related stress. Parents often seek her support in helping children manage anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and perfectionism. While her practice is open to clients across the lifespan, she has particular expertise in working with children, adolescents, and their families.

Diana is a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) clinician for the treatment of childhood anxiety and depression and is trained in  SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based treatment model for childhood anxiety. Her work helps children and families develop practical skills to manage anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience.

In addition to her clinical practice, Diana serves as Adjunct Faculty in the Couple and Family Therapy Program at the University of Maryland, College Park. She previously worked for more than a decade with the World Bank Counseling Unit and remains actively involved through the World Bank Family Network, supporting international families navigating transitions and cultural adjustment.

Originally from Venezuela, Diana earned her Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology there before completing her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Rochester, New York. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and brings a strong multicultural perspective to her work, informed in part by her own immigrant experience and background.

In her free time, she enjoys playing board games and going on hikes with her husband, three kids, and their dog, Goose.
