I’m Diera Woodard, LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and practical tools for real change. My mission is to create a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and peace.

Clients often describe my style as warm, honest, and empowering. I meet you where you are and walk with you as you develop the insight and tools needed to create lasting change. I believe that therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation — one that helps you understand your emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

Sometimes the thing you are most afraid to look at is the exact thing that sets you free. I am Marie, an LMHC, National Certified Counselor, and Qualified Supervisor with more than 20 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across Florida. I specialize in anxiety, substance use and recovery, anger management, trauma, bipolar disorder, and the relationship patterns that keep people cycling through the same pain. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian values into the therapeutic process without judgment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, or carrying the impact of past trauma into your relationships and daily life? You may feel stuck in patterns that are hard to break, disconnected from yourself or others, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals across Florida who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Together, we create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process your experiences, build insight, and develop tools to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan, and I work with adults and seniors navigating a range of mental health challenges — including bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorders, sleep difficulties, and more. My greatest strength is building genuine, trusting relationships with my patients. I take the time to listen without judgment, understand each person's unique needs, and create individualized treatment plans that help you feel supported and empowered throughout your mental health journey. Outside of work, I recharge by spending time with my family, traveling, and staying active outdoors.
