I’m so glad that you are reaching out to find help in this chaotic world we are living in! So many people choose to live in “anxious mode”, but by taking this first step, we can work toward changing your life to “happy and stress-free mode”.
I started my journey as a behavior disorders teacher turned elementary school counselor. After retirement, I continued my career and followed my dream of earning my license and opening my own counseling practice. In my practice I have worked with all ages dealing with various issues such as post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, grief, depression, family relationships, abuse, divorce, and couples therapy. I also worked with many clients referred from the Division of Family Services relating to parenting skills and child abuse/neglect.
I love helping people change their mindset from “I can’t take this anymore!” to “Oh, life is good after all!” Sometimes another person’s perspective on situations helps volumes, and that is what I do. I help offer solutions using a variety of techniques in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. My style includes Behavior-focused therapy, Person-centered therapy, and Reality therapy, with some Mindfulness all rolled in together to fit your personal needs and unique personality. I love life, and each day is an adventure-I hope that I can help you on your journey to find this same love of life!

Written on Mar 14, 2021 after therapy with Diana for 2 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, and coping with life changes
I very much enjoy my sessions with Diana! She takes the time to listen to my concerns and puts forth practical ways to achieve my goals (worksheets, writing things down, setting up a planner, making lists- I’m sure we will plan more). These tangible methods show she is invested in my goals, and helping me accomplish them in a healthy way. It helps me prioritize and structure my own goals for getting mentally and physically settled, so I can best tackle personal and professional life. I also appreciate that some days when I just need to be able to talk, she is able to pivot and flesh out my concerns without concrete plans (some days that’s all you need!). She genuinely listens to me, and demonstrates concern and respect for my well-being, while helping me see and plan for the future. It’s wonderful to talk and work with Diana! I enjoy our sessions very much, and am so grateful to have her checking in on me! Can’t recommend Diana anymore!

Diana Schaffer is a good counselor. She cares about your situation. She listen and gives good advice. Each session i had i always feel better after speaking with her.
When she speaks to you she don't make you feel like a patient but somehow it feels like you're talking to a friend someone you can trust. On a scale 1-10 i give her an 11.

Diana is the first therapist that I’ve worked with that actually listens. Her ability to hear things and truly want to give space for the me to process my own feelings has been unique and wonderful. She also has a gift—it’s called being human. She is funny and super relatable. My husband has found her to be a joy to work as well.

Diana has been great in helping me with my anxiety as a new mom and young with and she’s given me some wonderful tools to use when I’m struggling or to prevent the struggle all together. Also it’s wonderful having an unbiased “ear” to “listen.” Even if it’s really late/really early in the morning I can type up a journal entry and get everything off my chest that I need to and she will respond when she can which I think is so great.
