About me

Hi! I'm Diedre Wade. As a Louisville, Kentucky native, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (Supervisor) in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and am a third year doctoral student in a PhD program in Counselor Education and Supervision with a specialization in Leadership. My research interest is Wellness & exercise motivation and self efficacy (self confidence). Most of my experience has been spent helping individuals improve their quality of life by building their self esteem and recognizing their self worth.

I have special training in problem gambling and other addictions. While working for the Florida Drug Court, I received training & experience helping those with Substance Abuse concerns & involvement with the court system. Those involved in the legal system are always welcome in my practice.

My approach to therapy is not one theoretical method, but rather, I individualize treatment for each client to provide excellent, customized therapy experiences. I believe therapy should be a solution-focused partnership between therapist and client. I often utilize Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice.

On a personal note, my husband and I are very active in CrossFit exercise and enjoy travelling with our kids.

I wasn’t sure anyone could actually help me last being a listening ear but talking to Diedre every week feels like a brick has been lifted off my chest. The way she explains things makes me feel like I’m actually going to be okay. She’s so calm and just listens.
