About me

My name is Diana Yates. I graduated with my masters degree is Social Work from Loyola University in Chicago. I am a seasoned and compassionate therapist with over 15 years of clinical expertise. I'm holistic, looking at all aspects of your life. I draw on a wide range of approaches to focus my sessions based on individual clients. First and foremost, I believe that building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, non-judgement and empathy is key. My approaches include Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Solution Focused therapy.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Diana is a wonderful listening ear but she also pushes you to do better too. I love that out of anyone but thank you for pushing me in the worst months to pull through and being there.

So far, Diana has helped me dig a lot deeper than I expected. She asked me what I wanted out of therapy & it’s actually coming together. Thanks for allowing me to challenge myself Diana!

Diana has been a great source of comfort and support. Her support does not come in the form of blind validation but challenges me to take step back and view my situation as is and make the best decision based on viewing the issue at hand from different perspectives. She has celebrated my small and big wins with me, which provides me with the confidence that I am heading in the right direction, even if the journey can be difficult.
