Diana Ashton

My communication style

My style is supportive, empathic, and direct. I know how tough it is to ask for help, and my goal is to help you as quickly as possible. I share my thoughts and experience, provide education and support, and prefer working as a team rather than letting you figure it out alone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a family with trauma and emerged wanting to heal myself and help others heal. I see each person as a whole picture and am not afraid to reach out. I feel lucky to live a fulfilling life and want to help as many people as possible reach happiness and feel comfortable with their choices.

My goals for you

I ask what your goals are, why you chose them, and we have a conversation. Often, your perceptions of needs and wants shift during our talk. We discuss priorities and make a plan that suits your needs right now. Flexibility is key to success.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll talk about how you've been feeling recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand why. I'll also ask about your family of origin and current family to understand you more completely. I like to figure out what will work best for you. I hope you leave feeling good about engaging and with a sense of hope.
