She’s freaking amazing…

Written on Nov 22, 2025 after therapy with Dianna for 4 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, family conflicts, grief, and coping with life changes

I just started with her and she already gets me. She’s so responsive and patient given when my anxiety can go up the roof. She’s there for me and helps ground me.

She really meets me where I am at and helps me tackle the challenges in front of me. I appreciate her kindness and caring presence.

She’s very good at listening to details

Dianna is a gift that I truly cherish. At 71 years old the depth to which I buried my pain is carefully being uncovered. Dianna continually amazes me as she remembers in detail experiences I have shared, going way back to when I first began working with her, and insightfully connects them as new remembrances and issues surface, helping me to understand and continue to strive for my healing. She is a blessing and I feel that she truly cares. I trust her completely and feel wrapped in safety.
