I’m a licensed therapist practicing in New York and Colorado, with 10 years as a therapist and 14+ years across healthcare and behavioral health. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD, addiction and recovery, relationships, social anxiety, life transitions, and co-occurring concerns. I also provide neurodivergent- and gender-affirming care.
My style is warm, genuine, practical, and direct. Using evidence-based approaches, we’ll explore the patterns behind what you’re experiencing, build practical skills, and work toward meaningful change.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” who you are—it’s about understanding yourself and moving forward in a way that reflects your values.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Diane DeRuyter. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She's the kinda therapist I was looking for. As a combat Vet I've seen alot of therapist and she's the perfect match for me.
