I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe space where they can be their truest, most authentic self. We do not often have that space in our day to day lives– and that is where our work together can come into play. My hope is that I can provide all of my clients with that non-judgmental room to grow and learn about themselves. I would love to learn about your personal experience and how that has contributed to the person who sits besides me. But also learn about the person who you wish to become while never compromising your genuine spirit. 

I am seeking clients who identify as the “high achievers” or “perfectionists”, but who often do not take the time to recognize that everyone deserves to slow down and calm the tangles in their mind. I aim to help clients find their blank space in life and live true to their core values. Let me help you discover and answer “who is the person I want to be?”.

I am a Latina (non-Spanish speaking) from New Mexico, raised in the Baltimore area. I am interested in clients who could fit this same category of not only Latin/x populations, but a person from any ethnic community who struggles to find their place in some non-diverse areas that exist throughout the Baltimore region OR even struggles in your own personal circles. I hope to join you in the story and culture sharing that make you so unique and provide you that opportunity to feel free and heard. I want to hear your personal “fish out of water” tale. Regardless of your ethnicity, we all have a story to share and I am open to hearing yours!

In addition to serving individuals, I also work with couples wishing to enhance and refine their relationship. Every couple has the need to better their helpful communication. Communication is at the core of what we do on a day to day basis. When we add in all of the factors that can affect ourselves and our partner, communication can typically be the first aspect to suffer. I can help couples work on understanding each other better and learning how to “speak your own couple language”. I respect, honor and enjoy working with couples from all walks of life whether that be traditional monogamous relationships/partnerships, consensual non monogamous relationships/partnerships, LGBTQIA+ relationships/concerns, couples who engage in consensual alternative sex practices (i.e kink or BDSM, etc.), modern parenting couples or couples who identify as "dual income with no kids", and interracial couples– traditional and non-traditional are all celebrated and supported in the issues that affect your unique couple-dom. I also operate from a trauma-informed lens and will work with you as a couple to turn towards healing any trauma wounds through the support of your partner and your personal growth. Relationships are the hardest and most essential thing we have to nurture-- let me assist in cultivating that within your own relationship.

Space Between Counseling Services is an Out of Network provider, with many insurance companies which means that we do not bill insurance companies directly. Your counseling services may be eligible for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits, medical spending (FSA's) or health care savings accounts (HSA's). Health insurance plans and benefits vary. If you are interested in using your health insurance, please call your insurance provider to inquire about reimbursement for out-of-network counseling services.

When Diana is not working with clients she enjoys hiking, biking, yoga, riding her Peloton, kayaking, and indoor rock climbing. Diana believes movement of any ability or kind is the ultimate self-care. She also enjoys anything true crime or Bravo related. She also considers herself somewhat of an amateur chef- always for looking for new recipes or cooking up the old classics passed on from family and friends.

SBCS is not paneled with any insurance plans but can offer you what's called "out-of-network benefits" (OONB). Not everyone has this as part of their benefits package, so please call your healthcare plan and ask these questions:

Do I have out-of-network benefits?
What percentage of my therapist's fee does my plan pay for?

MOST OON BENEFITS PLANS PAY BETWEEN 50-90% OF MY FEE.

At times insurance plans request upfront billing codes SBCS will be using.  You can share this list of codes for their approval:

• 90791  Psychiatric Diagnostic Assessment (from 1-4 sessions depending on the problem)

• 90834 Psychotherapy, 45 minutes

• 90847  Family Psychotherapy, conjoint psychotherapy with patient present

• 90846 Family Psychotherapy, without patient present

• 90887 Collateral visit

When using OON Benefits, SBCS will provide you with a document monthly called a "superbill" which is like an invoice but contains the service codes, dates of treatment, and monies paid during therapy. You would submit this to your plan directly and your plan would reimburse you directly as well.

You can get in-network therapy if this is out of your budget. Your plan can identify providers who are in-network should you need to use your benefits.

HOW ARE MY RECORDS STORED?

Space Between Counseling Services utilizes a HIPAA compliant, encrypted, electronic medical record called Simple Practice that holds all of my client's mental health records safely in it. You will get a link to a client portal where you fill in demographic information and can access documents like invoices and superbills on your own.

Simple Practice has a credit card processing system named Stripe embedded in it.  If choosing to work with SBCS you would upload your credit card number and SBCS would tap the card after each session or late cancelation for the fee. SBCS only have access to the last 4 digits of your card and it is completely secured.

DO YOU HAVE A CANCELATION POLICY?

At Space Between Counseling Services, we have a 24- business hour cancelation policy. You will be responsible for an entire session fee of ($200-400) for individual/couples and ($999-1599) for Prepare + Enrich premarital counseling and ($275) for Brainspotting and ($225-275) for OCD and for ($1000-1900) for Autism & ADHD Evaluation. If the change is made in less than 24 business hours' notice. Exceptions may be made for emergencies such as sudden illness or accident, at my discretion. It should be noted that insurance does not reimburse for canceled sessions and HSA and FSA cards can't be used in these cases.
