Diana Wightman
I’ve always been genuinely interested in people’s stories, and I’m eager to hear yours. My deep curiosity developed as a news reporter and grew into a passion when I became a therapist. I use EMDR and Brainspotting to help people heal from trauma and anxiety and experience meaningful emotional change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your goals and needs.
First session
Our first session is a conversation. I'll want to understand the changes you'd like to see in your life and together we'll explore different ways to begin building a plan that's supportive, practical and personalized.
Strengths
If you've ever wondered, "Why do I do that?" or "How do I make this part of my life change?" we'll probably have lots to talk about. I'm endlessly curious about how our experiences shape us, why we respond the way we do, and what helps us create the kind of change that matters to us. I love helping people make sense of what they're experiencing, because understanding ourselves can be powerful.
Ideal clients
I work especially well with adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief or major life transitions. Some come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Others simply know they want to feel different. Whether you're looking for practical tools, greater self-understanding, or motivation, we'll start where you are and work toward the goals that matter the most to you.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I use EMDR to help people process difficult experiences that still feel emotionally overwhelming. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you, with the goal of helping those memories become less distressing so you can feel more present and confident.
Brainspotting
When appropriate, I also incorporate Brainspotting to help people process difficult experiences that continue to affect their lives. It combines focused attention with body awareness to help access and process emotions that may be hard to put into words. I tailor the process to each person and move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.
