I did not think being my 1st time ever in counseling would be the way it was what so ever! Diana asked questions better know me and she was so welcoming and understanding. Thank you!

Diana Lingren is an excellent therapist and for the first time in my life I believe the dis-ease I have lived with most of my life will actually be resolved. I have had therapy three other times in my life and Diana gets it. Highly recommended.

I have just started my journey… and have a long way to go. I feel heard and hopeful. And have already been given tools to help me navigate how my trauma is impacting my life daily. Looking forward to my sessions, learning and growing in a positive direction.

Diana not only listens and gives me feedback but also helps set goals and holds me accountable for what I say I want to work on in therapy. She isn't afraid to tell me hard truths and does so in a way that is gentle but also firm and supports me in processing as I learn more about myself. I can count on her to give our sessions direction and respect my time so that I am not just rambling on about a not important tangent (which is what I asked her to do... in the past I would get off track for a full session sometimes). She really shows that she cares and takes my feedback for her seriously.

Diane really listens to me. I like that she re-captures what I’m saying to make sure she is hearing exactly what I’m trying to say…. Which is not always easy. She offers a lot of empathy and different modalities and skills to help me. Highly recommend Diane!
