Diamond Marie Thaxton

Diamond Marie Thaxton is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York with seven years of clinical experience working with adults on addictions, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT matters, and depression.

Her therapeutic stance is contemporary and individualized, combining a direct yet comforting tone with a solution-focused orientation that suits busy people who use therapy as a pitstop to reflect and reset. She emphasizes accountability and often assigns practical exercises to help clients build healthy habits that support lasting change.

Diamond has extensive experience helping individuals and couples navigate relationship complexities using approaches such as the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy. She welcomes all relationship configurations, including kink-friendly and polyamorous dynamics, and supports people facing dating challenges or working through infidelity as they pursue healthier, more satisfying connections.

She typically works with clients who already have a foundational level of self-healing and are prepared to engage in solution-focused strategies to build resilience. She does not work with individuals who are in crisis or experiencing severe mental health symptoms.

Diamond offers counseling via live chat as her chosen modality, a format she prefers for reducing barriers to care and for clients who find they express themselves more clearly in writing and remember therapeutic interventions more readily when they can read them back.

She is licensed to practice as a mental health counselor in both Washington and New York. Located in New York, Diamond invites motivated clients who are ready to break down mental blocks and pursue greater wellness with self-compassion and empowerment.
