Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Rochelle, IL

Reaching out for help can be a difficult first step. It takes courage to address challenges in life that seem to keep us stuck. I believe therapy is a process by which one can in a safe and supportive environment face emotional struggles and work toward living a life that is valuable and fulfilling. I work with a variety of concerns including depression, grief and loss, anxiety, self-harm, emotion management, eating disorders, and life transitions such as adjustment to parenthood. I have a unique specialty and interest in treating chronic depression.

A therapist allows you the space to safely speak your truth, explore your identity and what that means to you, and learn how to approach life with that knowledge. You might be going through life transitions and adjustments such as changes in relationships, living situations, or career. You might be a mother trying to navigate through your new or continuing role, experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety, or trying to recover from loss. You might want to heal wounds left from past traumas and gain insight into how you can move forward. Together we can embark on a journey of healing, knowledge, and self-discovery.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families, my goal is to provide a safe and warm environment that will allow you to process past and present struggles without feeling judged. I have dedicated much of my clinical practice towards helping adolescents and adults of all walks of life, regain their power and self-confidence in the wake of a stressful life event. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma, grief, loss, or day to day struggles that are weighing them down.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are dedicating time to their personal development and addressing their challenges. My ideal clients are open to growth and are interested in learning more about themselves. They are ready to confront challenges and learn from the past to improve their futures, and they are committed to the therapy process just as much as I am. Whether we are using EMDR to address trauma or setting goals related to substance use, my ideal clients are ready to work hard to heal, learn, and grow.

I have experience working with an array of cultures, populations and genders, including those facing depression, anxiety and those struggling to change their patterns of behavior. Sometimes we can get frustrated when we are trying to break or form certain habits. This makes sense when fear, judgement or shame get in the way. I help people identify and change what’s not working in their life. My clients tend to experience a lot of overthinking and worry, feeling uneasy throughout the day, and struggles with time management; they also experience sadness and difficulty with daily routines.

Hello, my name is Diana Kotis-Harber, LCSW. I have over 21 years of providing mental health services, including all areas of practice. I prefer to build rapport with my clients by allowing them to share what their treatment goals and focuses are while reminding them they are the experts and partners in our therapeutic relationship. I am dedicated to helping people grow and become their most successful and authentic selves.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing psychotherapy, consultation, and supervision services. I work with teenagers, children, adults, and couples struggling with a variety of issues, relationship challenges, changes, and transitions throughout the life cycle.

With the understanding that no two people fit the same mold, I offer an eclectic, holistic approach to empower and support clients. From a neuro affirmative lens, I work with adults navigating trauma, parenting and caregiving challenges, PTSD, chronic illness, gender and sexuality, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, stress management, life transitions, and relationship issues. I deeply enjoy challenging shame and stigma surrounding all expansive and marginal identities.

"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways." I enjoy working who are struggling to cope, adjust or heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, personality and/or family issues. I use a broad range of theory in practice to address client concerns and moving them into wellness.

Have you been struggling with managing the changes life has dealt to you? I have worked with individuals from six months to ninety-eight years old, couples, and groups of individuals to support them in their life changes and help them address their needs through therapeutic interventions. My approach to therapy relies on the ability to create safety and developing a strong therapeutic alliance with you. I view this alliance as the vehicle for change that you are looking for. I want to work to meet you where you are at, so that you feel understood and heard in your experience.

Mental health has always been a passion of mine, and should be taken care of like any other medical condition. Some people need someone to talk to, and others need someone to help them build more coping skills or to learn about themselves, but either way therapy is not a one size fits all model and I am here to help in a way that works best and is most realistic for you. Many places still don't feel appropriate to talk about mental health, but I promise to provide a place and time that is safe and set aside for you to be heard, understood and valued.

I work with individuals who are looking for a space to work through their thoughts, feelings and behaviors free of judgment and shame. My clients are seeking to bring awareness to patterns that are no longer serving them and develop new skills to improve their quality of life. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings and welcome people of all races, sizes, genders, ethnicities, abilities and orientations. My past experience includes specializing in patients with depression and anxiety, binge eating and body image distress, Borderline Personality Disorder and other struggles in regulating emotions and managing relationships.
