Dioswal Cook, M.A., LPCC-S (she/they), is a licensed professional clinical counselor and clinical supervisor who is passionate about helping adults navigate personal growth, identity, relationships, life transitions, and emotional well-being. Her clinical interests include anxiety, depression, stress, identity development, substance use recovery, perinatal mental health, and the unique challenges of the college experience.
Dioswal brings experience across higher education, private practice, and community mental health settings, including nearly a decade of work in higher education before becoming a full-time clinician. She is deeply committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care and is especially passionate about supporting BIPOC students and creating spaces where clients can feel seen, understood, and empowered.
Her counseling style is warm, grounded, collaborative, and direct, with plenty of room for authenticity and humor. She draws from trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based practices while incorporating evidence-based approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing.
Outside of work, Dioswal is an avid reader, aspiring writer, home strength-training enthusiast, and proud dance mom to two daughters. She enjoys spending time with her husband and family, exploring new ideas, and continuing to add books to a reading list that somehow never gets any shorter.
