Diana Parrish

Diana Parrish is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist specializing in supporting trans, non-binary, and gender diverse individuals. She understands the unique challenges these communities face in accessing healthcare, particularly the need for supportive letters from mental health professionals to initiate hormone therapy or pursue affirmation surgeries. Diana has a strong belief in her clients’ ability to understand their own identities and needs. She offers her partnership in navigating the letter requirements and crafting a document that is both authentic and tailored to each individual's experience. Committed to the WPATH Standards of Care, Version 7, Diana provides essential resources for those needing a second letter or who prefer not to engage in ongoing therapy. Through her First Step Sessions, she facilitates a welcoming, one-time meeting for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore feelings, set goals, and discuss various options for support. Together, they address important aspects of life, including access to food, housing, employment, and community resources, inspiring overall well-being. Diana's approach reflects her passion for affirming care and creating an inclusive environment for her clients.
