Getting to know Diane McLeod

I specialize in brief collaborative therapy, where we focus on current issues, how you cope, how you learned those coping skills, and alternative solutions. We will also explore your self-care, including spirituality, and how to improve it if needed. Weekly assignment tasks related to your short-term goals will be agreed upon. Together, we will learn and understand where you are now and how the past has impacted you. Engaging in therapy can be anxiety-provoking, exciting, and freeing. If you are willing to work on our mutually agreed-upon assignments between sessions, you will find we make progress. I worked in criminal justice prior to being licensed in Michigan where I grew up and studied. Upon moving to Chicagoland, I worked 10 years with a crisis response team and an employee assistance program. This is where I learned to develop skills to drill down into client issues and work with the client to reduce discomfort and improve coping skills. Our counseling sessions did not last beyond 6-8 meetings. I moved to Texas in 2003 and since then have continued to work on crisis teams and with military members/spouses on installations. My practice has been focused on supporting couples communications; life transitions including grief/loss, career transitions, parenting skills and integrating/applying client's spiritual practice into every day life. I specialize in brief collaborative therapy where we look at current issues, how you cope, how you learned the coping skills and alternatives solutions. Clients describe me as safe to talk with about difficult topics; active and contributing to the dialog; creative in opening up behavioral and cognitive options.

What should a new client know about working with you?

The client can expect the first session to be about gathering background information and an understanding of the current issues. We will discuss your mind, body, spirit health to help stabilize your current functioning. Each session we will catch up on your life/issues since our last meeting; discuss the challenges/successes with the last assignment and discuss the next assignment along with rescheduling needs. We may meet weekly then move to every other week until we move into check-up and maintenance. We will determine the frequency interval together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first session we will look at your Intake information closely. We will discuss your level of Anxiety, Depression, Self-Care and History. I am interested in understanding your experiences and what has led you to the present. This understanding will enable us to develop therapeutic goals to work toward. Goals are fluid in that as you meet one goal, you may discover you have something else you would like to address. My biggest strength is in identifying the common thread from the client's past to present and helping the client to identify what past coping behaviors are not useful now. I actively collaborate to identify behavioral coping options with the client. I am familiar with successful communication and parenting tools the client can implement/practice. I bring the client's healthy spiritual learnings to everyday life to help identify a firm foundation for life. My ideal clients are motivated adults or couples who are experiencing relationship issue which is often results in depression or anxiety. My ideal and most successful clients are willing to share their social history so that we can understand where they have learned their current coping behaviors and determine how to change them to be healthier. My ideal and most successful clients are willing to take on homework assignments designed to actively try/practice new healthy behaviors. We set therapy goals that are clear for you and I help lead they client towards those healthy goals through therapy and homework assignment. My ideal/most successful client are honest and willing to participate in hard conversations as best they can. My most successful client are willing to look at their self-care and are willing to try to improve it for their mental, spiritual and physical health.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

At this stage of my life’s journey as a woman in perimenopause, I wanted to meet with a mature and experienced female therapist who “gets” my experience as a woman. At first meeting, Diane fits the bill perfectly. She is caring and professional. I felt seen, heard, understood. I look forward to journeying with Diane in the skilled and supportive therapy relationship that she is so clearly able to offer.
