My name is Diana Yoder, and I am a licensed mental health counselor and a certified life and wellness coach. I believe we were each designed with love and intention, and God desires each of us to live joyful, meaningful lives. However, I know so many experiences can get in the way of how we truly want to live. I want to help you identify and overcome the obstacles and struggles that hold you back the most - stress, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, doubt, unhelpful habits, etc. - and help you discover what it looks like to live with freedom, joy, and purpose instead. I do so through multiple therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Life Coaching techniques, all from a Biblical worldview.
I want to create a safe space for you to share your story and experience healing and growth. Therapy can feel uncomfortable at times as we shine light on areas that have lived in the dark for a long time. I know it takes courage to face the hard truths about ourselves and our difficult experiences, and it takes faith to change. I desire to meet you exactly where you are with grace and truth, not judgment. I want to walk alongside you through the discomfort, so you can experience the life and healing that comes through being fully known and fully loved.
"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." (1 Peter 5:10, ESV).
Some things about me:
My husband and I met in South Carolina, got married in Florida, and now live here in Indiana (his hometown). It’s an adventure, and I can’t believe I get to be on this adventure with him!
I grew up in a military family and have lived in many places throughout my life. I believe this gave me a love for traveling and exploring new places.
I love to sing and long to learn the piano.
Other things that bring me joy: getting coffee with friends, diving deep into Scripture, reading novels, going to concerts and shows, cross stitching, going on walks/hikes, hosting, and trying new restaurants.
