Diana Gelfand
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
FL and CA LCSW telehealth practice with a mission to help special needs parents on their journey with someone that "truly gets it and lives it".
I have a passion for helping parents of special needs children due to my experience professionally as well as personally. I am a mom of three children with special needs of whom I fostered and later adopted. So, when I say "I get it", I actually really do! Which is a primary reason I opened my private practice. I am a very transparent person; what you see is what you get. I will always be honest with my thoughts, so you will never need to worry “what is she thinking”. You will be in a judgment free environment, where you will be heard without bias. Sometimes it's hard to see things outside a certain way when we are knee deep in crisis, I will help bring a different perspective to the table. You may have some tough moments, but that is why you are here, because you want to get through those times, and I will be there to support you through this process.
