Diane Nunn, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Diane!

Are you stuck in survival mode wondering when it's your time to thrive? You are not alone. I partner with clients to uncover their core needs, challenge unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and empower them to take action so they can unburden themselves and soar. Contact me today to take your first step toward meaningful change.

My focus

I specialize in helping adults and teens manage their symptoms of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression, supporting women on their journeys toward personal fulfillment, and helping parents strengthen family cohesion through improved relationships in the home. I believe that everyone has a superhero within that is just waiting to be discovered.

My approach

Through exploring client's unique stories, experiences, and needs I help them discover their courage and their voice. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical and creative skill building to help manage emotions and improve daily functioning and Person-Centered Therapy to focus on empowerment and self-actualization.

My communication style

I value open and authentic communication as well as heartfelt connection to create an affirming and safe environment for clients to work through their struggles. I believe that laughter can provide just as much therapeutic benefit as tears and welcome them both in our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

From studying and working in dance and film I have learned to embrace creativity. I also have 20 years experience in community-based mental health services where I was drawn to behavioral work with kids and their families, which then transformed into a passion for helping others find their purpose so they can navigate any challenge.

My goals for you

Together we will identify the areas of your life you are hoping to improve so we can focus our sessions toward the outcomes you desire. Whether your goals are to feel less anxious, to improve your relationships, or feel hopeful for the future, I will help you find specific ways to achieve relief and make progress you can measure.

Our first session

In our first session we will explore what you hope to gain from therapy and how my style can support you to ensure we are a good fit. I will go at your pace to explore some of your stories to find a starting place. Therapy is a process that we will build together and I invite you to reflect and ask questions as we go.
