Diann received her Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the Center for Humanistic Studies (now Michigan School for Professional Psychology) in 1983. Prior to her professional degree she worked in mental health administrative positions in various clinical settings.  Because of her belief that mental health and counseling services could be delivered in a more compassionate, non-medical environment, she founded the Center for Creative Living in 1984.  Since then, the Center has grown and changed to meet the needs of the clients it serves.  She uses this model in her work with her own clients.  She believes in the individual’s ability to grow and change, especially when faced with life challenges.  Diann works with women and men who are navigating those difficult times.  Depression, anxiety, confusion, unsatisfying relationships, and unhealthy lifestyles often result from the person’s inability to “see” how  their old patterns and behaviors are no longer working for them.  Using the client/therapist relationship based on trust and understanding, she helps her clients examine their belief systems and the origins of these beliefs to determine what changes can be made to resolve conflicts and dysfunction in their lives.  This work increases self-awareness, shifts outlook on life from the negative to positive, and empowers individuals to live more satisfying, productive lives.
