Meet Diane Sanders

Unfortunately, everyone has some level of stress and anxiety in their lives. When they manifest themselves in physical symptoms (such as headaches, sleep problems, eating disorders or muscle tension), that's when you need help to identify and manage the stress and/or anxiety. Diane can explore the origin of your anxiety or stress and work with you to develop the coping skills to better manage it in your life.

Addiction comes in many forms. For most, it's drug or alcohol addiction that plays havoc with their lives. For others, it's overspending, overeating, sex, pornography or a host of other activities. Addiction(s) can cause tremendous guilt, anxiety or shame and can adversely effect the lives of loved ones. Diane's solution-oriented approach will uncover the triggers to help you overcome addictive behavior.

Depression can be measured on many levels. For some, it is a debilitating sadness; for others, it is a constant feeling of hopelessness or even anticipating negative outcomes. Whether your depression is mild or severe, it can have a tremendous impact on your daily life. Diane works to uncover the root cause(s) of your depression to provide effective coping mechanisims to help you rise above the sadness and negative feelings.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) commonly follows stressful events, such as accidents, natural disasters, rape, military combat, abuse and neglect, to name just a few. Whether you exhibit PTSD through anxiety, depression, substance abuse or in other ways, or if you suffer in silence, Diane can identify and treat your PTSD (and/or Panic Attacks) with a variety of proven techniques.

Human Sexuality is a complicated subject, and for LGBTQIA+ individuals, it can be a challenging component of their lives. Diane provides a comfortable space where you can speak freely about your sexual (and relationship!) concerns so that she can help you resolve any sexual issues, including desire, dysfunction, intimacy and more.

Grief is one of the most difficult emotions to handle. When we lose someone or something, the loss is overwhelming and can have a negative effect on our health, our other loved ones and in our personal lives (like work, friendships). Diane can help you navigate your sadness and find ways for you to better cope with your loss, whether it is a sudden crises or an ongoing issue.

Cutting and self-harm is an outward expression of inner pain.
The truth is that the relief you get from hurting yourself does not last very long, and the feelings that brought you to it soon return.
The first step in healing is to confide in another person. It can be scary to talk about what you’ve been trying so hard to hide, yet it’s a huge relief to finally let go of your secret to someone non-judgmental who allows you to feel accepted and supported.
