(she/her)
Hi! My name is Diane Bales MS, LMHC, LPC. I am passionate about what I do. I love walking with clients through their journey of healing. I am known for really caring about my patients and I think that shows. I use an eclectic approach to treatment. I feel that everyone is different and not one approach works for everyone. I want my clients to feel that they have accomplished or overcome something during their time in therapy. Note I do charge for No show and Late Cancellations $70.00

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Helping patient to change negative thought patterns as well as learning coping skills allows patients to lessen symptoms
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I believe that having a positive hope filled experience should be part of the healing process
Narrative
Sometimes it is important to really separate the problem from the person and that is what narrative therapy does
