I am Darian Newbeck, a licensed clinical social worker with about ten years of experience helping adults work through addiction, trauma, and the patterns that keep repeating. I am not a clipboard-and-turtleneck therapist. I’ll be compassionate, hold space for the messy parts, and I won’t just tell you what you want to hear. Evening and weekend appointments. Online across Florida, Massachusetts, and Texas. In person in Wellington and Fort Lauderdale. Most of my clients bring more than one of these at the same time, and that is normal. I do not ask people to sort themselves into a single category before we start. Mental health and substance use rarely show up separately. Treating one while ignoring the other is why so many people cycle back. We work on both, at the same time, in the same room. Including complex trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and the kind of trauma that does not look dramatic from the outside but shaped everything anyway. I am trained in Hypnotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and I use them when they fit, not by default. Some diagnoses carry a lot of stigma—including from clinicians. Whether you have been diagnosed with a Dissociative Identity Disorder, personality disorder, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition that has been misunderstood or reduced to a label, I do not treat your diagnosis as a character flaw or your entire identity. It is something we can better understand, work with, and learn to navigate together. I also work with clients through relationship issues, dissociative disorders, grief, self-harm, passive suicidal thoughts, severe and persistent mental illness, and life transitions that didn’t go according to plan.What I Help With

Treatment Approach:
EMDR, ART, and Hypnotherapy for Trauma Therapy Is a Conversation, Not a Performance
I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and trained in Heart Centered Hypnotherapy and REBT. My general approach is person-centered, strength-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed.
What that means in practice is that I choose the tool based on you. Your motivation, your emotional safety, your personality.
Therapy is clinical work, but it is also a relationship. How we work together matters just as much as the tools, interventions, and approaches I bring into the room.
You do not need to walk into our first session and tell me the worst thing that has ever happened to you. Safety is built over time—through consistency, boundaries, trust, and knowing you can be honest without being judged, pushed, or punished.
At the end of the day, you are the one who has to live your life. My job is not to make decisions for you or tell you who you should be. My job is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, develop useful skills, and make choices that align with the life you want to build.

What Therapy With Me Is Actually Like The question people ask me most before booking is some version of: will you be gentle with me, or will you push me? Both. That is the whole answer. As a clinician it is my job to walk you through the hardest parts of life and help you get the things you want out of life. I’m not here to recreate the relationships that taught you therapy meant being judged, controlled, or talked down to. If you have built something that is not working, I will point at it, and then you get to decide what you want to do about it. I think of therapy a little like walking through a museum together. You bring in the pieces of your life—the beautiful, the broken, the things you’d rather hide. We look at them together, get curious about what they mean, and you decide what you want to keep, change, or leave behind. A few other things worth knowing: No topic is off limits. You can ask me for what you need. I will match your effort. I am a therapist, not your friend.
Whatever you have been carrying that felt too strange or too shameful to say out loud, you can say it here.
You have a voice in how we do this work. You get to tell me what you need, what isn’t working, and what you want to try instead. My job isn’t to have all the answers or expect you to adapt to my way of doing things. We can repair it, adjust the approach, and keep going.
If you keep showing up and doing the work, so will I. We move in step, and nobody gets left behind.
My job is to create enough safety that you can finally stop managing everyone else and pay attention to yourself.
