Diana Austin

My communication style

As a therapist, I understand the difficulty in opening up and sharing thoughts and feelings. I provide a relaxed yet professional atmosphere in my sessions. I do incorporate humor at times; however, I am solution-focused. It is my goal to help guide you in creating a better understanding of how you CAN shift your perspective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist as I felt a strong connection and a need to help others with their perspectives. Throughout my 23-year career, I have worked in many settings that have enhanced my knowledge and afforded me a well-rounded understanding of mental health, substance abuse, trauma, relationships, and communication skills.

My goals for you

Goal setting is very important within my therapeutic practice. Do not feel that you have to know all of your goals at the start. I can help guide you in identifying what is the underlying content that will help you move forward. I will help guide you through the process of achieving each step. I promote a free-flowing progression with my approach.

Our first session

Initial sessions focus on the precipitating factors that led you to seek therapy. I would like to know your experience and expectations with the therapeutic process. Secondary discussing any pressing issues that may need to be addressed to move forward with deeper underlying issues or concerns.
