Diane Gordon

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up up in a culture in which therapy was taboo. I witnessed how trauma can negatively impact your life and overall well being. I decided I wanted to help others and dispel the notion that therapy does not help but instead, it help can help to navigate life experience that are overwhelming.

My goals for you

I use a client center approach to help you reach your treatment goals. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
