Diana Pope

Diana Pope

Therapist

Virtual • Sherman, TX


I became a therapist because I lived the question my clients carry: Who am I underneath everything I've been told to be?

I know firsthand how deeply childhood experiences, adult trauma, and the messages we absorb from parents, partners, and systems can shape — and distort — how we see ourselves. Many of my clients arrive believing something is fundamentally broken in them. My job is to help you discover that's never been true.

What sets my work apart is that I treat the whole picture. I don't just address symptoms — I explore how your history, your nervous system, your neurobiology, and even your epigenetics created the patterns keeping you stuck. That's how change becomes permanent, not just temporary relief.

I also bring something most therapists can't offer: a commitment to never judge. Whether you're navigating a life others don't understand, a diagnosis that's felt like a label rather than a doorway, or relationships that don't fit a conventional mold — you are safe here.

And I believe this with everything I have: it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.

Adelina Araujo

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


After more than four decades as a therapist, I've learned something important: most people don't come to therapy because they're weak. They come because they've been strong for far too long. Life has a way of asking us to carry more than we ever imagined, whether you're caring for aging parents, grieving a loss, adjusting to retirement, managing chronic stress, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else.

For more than 43 years, I've helped adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, major life transitions, chronic health concerns, and the challenges that come with every stage of adulthood. I provide a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking practical support and lasting change.
