Dizia

Dizia is a registered social worker with a specialty for working with children, teens, families and young adults using a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to clients needs. With a master's focus on mental health and an undergraduate degree in early childhood studies and a minor in child and youth care, Dizia prides herself on finding fun, creative and developmentally appropriate ways to support client goals. Dizia works hard to build a sense of safety and trust in sessions while focusing on clients concerns, needs and goals. Dizia believes that there is no one perfect therapeutic model that can be used for every challenge brought forward, so she uses a variety of evidence based theories, practices and tools to help build client's resourcefulness, resilience, and self esteem. By focusing on what is in one's control versus what isn't, Dizia helps clients build a tool kit of coping strategies to address both thoughts, emotions and choices. Once a foundation of coping skills has been built, we can then begin to tackle problems or stressors with a new sense of confidence. Dizia has worked in the fields of mental health, health, and trauma as both a clinical therapist as well as a case manager. Through her work she realized how prevalent untreated traumatic experiences are, and how overwhelming they are in day to day life. Dizia began focusing her continuing education on trauma and trauma therapies and aside from working with a variety of presenting iasues, Dizia uses these trainings and knowledge to offer trauma informed care to all clients. Dizia understands how scary and challenging it can be to find a therapist that you feel safe and comfortable sharing some of our hardest thoughts, feelings and experiences with. This is why Dizia is grateful and appreciative of the opportunities to stand with clients and earn that trust.
