Hi there! I'm Diana and I work with adults who are looking to have a genuine connection with their therapist. I specialize in PTSD, trauma, and ADHD but also treat a variety of other challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, infertility, self-esteem, and identity challenges. My aim is to help people find clarity, feel empowered, and develop healthy self-esteem so they can have more meaningful, productive lives. My approach is to do it in a way that is relatable, honest, and supportive. Therapy can sometimes be challenging but I do my best to adapt to your needs. With open communication, we'll get through it together.

Using a holistic, mindful approach to alleviate pain and unwanted symptoms, I can help guide you to build on self compassion and self-care. Working together we work toward improving anxiety, depressive symptoms, self-empowerment, self-esteem.

Searching for a therapist is a vulnerable decision. Often, we don’t know what causes feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, & disconnection from our lives & our loved ones. My therapeutic style is grounded in process-based Gestalt therapy, with a focus on creating an emotionally safe environment to decrease internal shame & explore life concerns/struggles. My specialties include trauma, PTSD, & abuse (i.e., emotional, parental, religious, narcissistic, toxic relationships/marriages, high-control environments & betrayal). I work with attachment injuries, perfectionism, codependency, self-esteem, identity exploration & boundary setting.

Do you ever feel needing to speak with someone about what is going on your mind? Trying to process what is going on? Having relationships concerns with significant partners, friends, or family? Wanting to learn ways to cope with difficult feelings?

Working with a therapist can feel scary, that’s why my initial goal in the room is to create a safe, comfortable space where the focus is on building relationships with clients. It’s these close relationships that lead to trusting, collaborative and powerful therapy environments. Sometimes reflecting on our past can be difficult, I set the pace of the process specific to your readiness. In addition to proving a safe holding environment, my style is super authentic; I bring warmth, humor, even pop culture references and you’ll likely see my dog pop in the background at times.

My name is Samantha Cote and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I focus on a client-centered, trauma-informed, and integrative approach to therapy to help make progress toward feeling better. The foundation of my approach to therapy involves client-centered, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and strength-based. I used an integrated perspective of therapy that includes different tools from a variety of different therapeutic approaches because it's important to recognize that we are all unique. Everyone has different goals, life experiences, situations, relationships, cultural backgrounds, communication styles, etc.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a diverse background and a strong cultural awareness due to years spent in various countries. In addition to English, I speak Thai and Mandarin fluently. My passion is working with couples and individuals who are struggling with interpersonal relationships and are seeking to heal from past traumas. I believe that we all have the potential for a genuine and loving covenantal connection but the pain we have experienced hinders our ability to do so.

*LGBTQ+ affirmative* Are you afraid to speak up or be your true self for fear of what others will say or do? Do you wish your family communicated more effectively, your kids would respect you and your rules, or you could get your teen to open up to you?

When you reclaim your true voice and begin to use it thoughtfully and purposefully, you can lead a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life.

If you are ready to heal, I’d be honored to talk with you and see if we can work together. I'm invested in helping you feel more confident, happy and at peace.
