I am a certified CONSULTING HYPNOTIST, specializing in anxiety relief.

Life can be a real challenge: stress, arguments, impatience, thoughts of divorce, feeling disconnected, depressed, anxious..... It can be hard knowing what direction to take, where to draw the line with others, and how not to be used or abused in the process. Some people need a long-term therapist to work through deep and enduring problems while others may want to check-in for only a session or two to keep in psychological shape. Your goals for happiness, sorting through a decision, reducing your anxiety, or just figuring out what is wrong are equally important to me in working with you.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. At our practice, our therapists have 35+ years of combined experience. We are experts in what we do and seek to serve our patients with the highest quality of care and the most advanced therapeutic techniques. We use a variety of approaches to treat a wide range of disorders and issues. We specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Interventions, Behavioral Activation, and have a Patient-Centered approach.

**I am not accepting new clients** Sometimes it seems like anxiety and depression have taken over your life. You dread dealing with family, friends, work and life in general because it just feels so overwhelming. You have many worries but can’t seem to make decisions, so they just circle around and around. Maybe your brain gets stuck on a traumatic memory and you can’t let it go. It’s hard to sleep, or even relax. You struggle to find the motivation to make a change. You don’t feel comfortable talking to your friends about it because you’re used to holding it all together and acting like everything’s ok. But you’re not ok.

I work with my clients to provide a variety of coping skills in order to manage day to day stressors. Many of my clients have struggled with depresssion, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideations. Being formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has allowed me to help clients with severe emotional dysregulation.It is essential to find the methodology that will be most effective for the client. I practice Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The goal of treatment is to learn more effective skills in order to reach the client's potential and improve his/her quality of life.

I work with people to help them reach their full potential. I can do this with telehealth or in person. My job is to help remove those barriers keeping you from becoming who you really are. That might simply be a change in your life you are having trouble making. Or that may be a mental health or physical issue you have. Because I'm both a psychotherapist AND Chiropractic Physician, I can address the physical components of things that are keeping you from being who you want to be too. Often the physical problems have psychological components and the psychological problems have physical components.

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to review my profile as your potential therapist/partner in creating healing and happiness in your life. My approach is rooted in the belief that we all deserve to be heard and all deserve to live our best lives. I believe that we are able to improve our emotional and mental well-being by exploring our past while focusing on our present and future. When we are able to integrate all of the pieces of our lives, and observe and tweak how all of those different pieces interact with each other, then we are better able to make necessary adjustments for a more healthful way of living.

You have so much love to give and for as long as you can remember your focus has been on others and putting their wants and needs first. Sometimes it may even feel like the people in your life stay because of what you do for them. But do they really know you? For so long you've neglected yourself to the point where you can’t remember the last time you did anything just for you. Maybe you’re feeling like you don’t even know yourself anymore.

My ideal client is someone ready to make changes to have a better quality of life, mental health wellness, and balance. When coping with issues that may cause anxiety or depression, I am here to help.

I offer counseling for individual, couples, and families. I specialize in family-systems models, attachment oriented therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have worked with many individuals and families that struggle with anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, and domestic violence. In addition, I have experience working with children that are struggling with adoption. By utilizing an individualized insight-oriented approach, I can help both children and adults process emotions and achieve positive progress to reach their goals. I am a strong believer of the mind/body/spirit connection.

My ideal client wants to be an active player in his or her own treatment. They want a therapist who will not only be there for them, but who will also give them the tools they need to proactively change their lives for the better. I'm here to change lives, not just be a sounding board. All clients are deserving of respect and unconditional positive regard, but there comes a time when you are going to take action, or stay stuck in the muck that brought you to therapy to begin with. I'm going to meet you where you're at, and I'm also going to push you to make that positive change in your life. Staying stuck isn't an option with me!

Hi, my name is Diana and I am happy you have chosen my profile to review in your search for finding help with whatever it is you may need. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained in both general psychotherapy theories and systems theory. This means I take the individual’s whole system into account in sessions and how a family and/or a cultural system can affect an individual’s needs for becoming the best version of themselves. I believe in a holistic approach and tailor the treatment to each specific individual.

I have more than 20 years experience working as a counselor in Pasco County schools helping youth, adults, and families who have been affected by some very real issues including substance abuse, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, trauma, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and a host of other issues.

The last several years have been both beautiful and brutal. We've all experienced loss on some level and it's left us feeling a bit ... untethered. There's a lot to process before we can really move on, before we can shift from surviving to thriving. However, the benefit of a worldwide quarantine is that we were forced to stop and really take note of every aspect of our life - even those things we had been trying to avoid. We realized that no matter how much we love someone, living with them isn't always easy. And it became crystal clear that in order to claim the life we want, we must make some changes. This is where we can help.
