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

Finally, someone who does trauma therapy! She is really cool, laid back, with a good sense of humor. My nerves left immediately and had fun talking with her. Can't wait for my next session!

I've found my nirvana! Easy to relate with. Understanding of the "real deal" in life and a breath of fresh air. Thank you thank you. I look forward to the support needed with realistic goals and achievements. 😁😉

Very comfortable with Diane. Easy to talk to, listens and open for added information during conversation. Felt she really understood my concerns.

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
