Diane Gaston, LCSW

"My experience with Diane and EMDR/Brainspotting has been liberating. Diane's genuine and kind nature made me feel seen and heard, while her use of brainspotting really unearthed a lot of my struggles. These techniques were new to me, but after my with Diane and experiencing the results of this type of therapy, I can say I feel so much better than I did before."

"Diane is a warm , skilled, and encouraging therapist who helped me through a rough couple of years. She helped me understand and better manage my intense anxiety initially and then my PTSD stemming from abusive relationships. She is very good at explaining how treatment works, what you might feel during treatment, and why she is doing certain things during treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others."

"I was very hesitant to seek therapy for PTSD because of the ineffectiveness of therapists I had visited in the past. However, Diane’s use of EMDR proved to be highly effective. The treatment itself was targeted and not wildly philosophical, which made process move along at an effective rate, not too slow and not too fast. I wasn’t left wondering if this was going to yield results, the healing was prompt, tangible and long lasting. Diane has the right personality for the work she does. She is kind and professional, but effective and targeted at the same time. I never once felt like I was being looked down upon or being taken advantage of. She cares and provides healing not just treatment. Diane respects and seeks to provide healing for our men and women of the military dealing with PTSD. I honestly don’t know why EMDR for PTSD isn’t more common, it should be. To say I very highly recommend Diane for PTSD issues doesn’t do justice to how grateful I am for her and the work she does."

"Life doesn't often offer miracles, but I was given such a gift in the form of Diane. Diane helped me through an incredibly challenging phase of my life, and I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Through her guidance I was able to reflect, grow, and move beyond a troubled past to lead a better life. I cannot review her highly enough; she is kind, patient, understanding and deeply empathetic. She REALLY listens, and goes above and beyond to provide support and perspective. Thank you Diane, you very literally saved my life."
