Teletherapy for Meridian, ID

Hello, my name is Dianira, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a strong passion for helping people find meaning and healing in their walk through life. I completed my undergraduate degree in 2010 from the University of Oregon and my master’s degree in counseling in 2015 from Northwest Nazarene University. My clients are individuals who desire a guide that can help them navigate through life's hardships. We work together to process through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, attachment concerns, life stressors, transitions, and more.

My commitment to you, is that you will feel completely heard, understood, & feel that we are working together to accomplish your goals. When we are done with our time together, I aim for you to feel encouraged, ready to move forward toward your goals, and that you have the tools with which to accomplish that. No matter what you might be facing, I can offer support and likely more tools with which to successfully cope. Together, I know we can get you to a point of peace and enjoying life just as you should be able to. And you will feel capable to deal with life moving forward.

I am passionate about working with adults struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief / loss, and religious or faith-based trauma. I also have years of experience in helping those struggling with substance abuse disorders as well as co-occurring disorders, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I utilize a humanistic approach to therapy primarily focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Dedicated to fostering healing & self-discovery, my therapeutic approach is a blend of trauma-sensitive, attachment-based, & psychodynamic perspectives. I specialize in working with individuals & couples with traumatic backgrounds, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, & life transitions. Creating a supportive space for self-awareness, my goal is to guide you toward a clearer sense of self, more authentic relationships, & positive change. My journey in the mental health field stems from a profound curiosity about the human mind and a genuine desire to assist individuals in overcoming life's challenges.

As a human being, you constantly encounter challenges, disappointments, struggles, and events which shape you into who you are, for better or worse. It can be difficult to understand why these things occur, and how to deal with them in a healthy, productive manner. Whether it be simple or complex challenges, goals can be set, problems addressed, and changes made to enhance your ability to navigate life effectively. Having someone to talk to, introduce you to new skills, and to process traumas can bring peace, hope, purpose, and joy to your life.

I believe that every individual has been created with intrinsic value and unique purpose. We were meant to live whole, integrated, and connected lives that flourish. But painful or traumatic life experiences can diminish us over time, pulling us away from who we were created to be, often wreaking havoc with our minds, bodies, emotions, and relationships in the process. If you are weary of merely surviving and desire to truly thrive, I want to remind you that you are not alone and that there is hope. There is a path that has led to the place you are now, and there is a different path forward that leads to healing and wholeness.

Hello! If you are here, something is not okay in your life, and you are looking for something different. I bring 19 years of experience and expertise in helping clients find relief from the challenging and distressing emotional, physical, and cognitive effects of trauma. Traumatic experiences can often leave you feeling emotionally overwhelmed and out of control of your emotions, thoughts, body, and life. It is common for trauma survivors to experience mental health symptoms, chronic pain, substance use or abuse, spiritual struggles, low self-esteem, feelings of shame, and feeling disconnected from themselves and loved ones.

I am an EMDR, APSATS, and EFT trained, Counseling Intern working toward completing requirements for a master's degree in Counseling from Hope International University. I work under the supervision of Stephanie Baker at Restoration Counseling. There are three things that I would like you to know today. You are not alone. You are not broken. You are not out of control. This means that there are others out there who have been where you are. There is nothing fundamentally or irreparably wrong with you. You have agency in this world both internally and externally. Change is possible. I'm here to help.

Let me start by saying that I’m so proud of you! You’re taking the first step to improving your mental health and taking control of your life. We will work together to supply you with the tools you need to cope with the difficulties you’re facing. My goal is to help you understand and validate your life experiences, as well as support you in learning mechanisms to be successful in the future.

The journey that brings each of us to counseling is distinct and personal. It may evoke feelings of intimidation, excitement, or anxiety. Yet, it also holds the potential for profound healing. Within the counseling room, a nurturing atmosphere is cultivated, one that encourages self-discovery, healing, and deep introspection. This space is exclusively yours, providing a sanctuary where you can freely express your true self without fear of judgment.

My clients are largely adolescents and teenagers who have experienced trauma such as physical/ emotional/sexual abuse, neglect, and loss and who are involved in juvenile justice and/or the foster care systems. My clinical training includes trauma-focused, Autism, and behavioral issues; however, I have a great deal of training with all diagnoses. My clients' goals include increased ability to cope with life-stressors, problem solving, and anger management.

Precession Change is change that takes place when you reach out for help and before initiation of counseling. As licensed counselor in the state of Idaho for nearly 25 years, I am a competent clinician able to assist you with facing life's challenges. I integrate faith and spirituality into treatment; yet, from a non-judgmental manner. I also encourage a "client-driven" approach, while eventually "working myself" out of the job of your counselor. I am a Veteran of the US Air Force, retiring in September of 1994. I have treated clients from the age of 3 to 97. I look forward to assisting you as your aid and guide.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.
