Diane Spear, LCSW-R

Specialties

As a psychotherapist in practice since 1995, I love helping older adolescents up through older adults – individuals and couples – deal with their issues and find the joy in everyday life! Depressed? Anxious? Feeling stuck? I’ll help you understand how your past shapes your life today, so you can build on your strengths and let go of what doesn’t work so well. This way you can make a more satisfying life today and going forward.

History

Established in 1995.

Sessions in person, by phone, and on Skype. I’ve worked with hundreds of patients — individuals and couples — to improve their lives.

Business Owner

I provide individual and couples therapy for older adolescents up through older adults with a wide range of emotional and life problems. My interactive, reality-​based style emphasizes forming a trusting relationship to understand the positive and negative factors from your past that shape your life today. In addition to my full-​time private practice, I consult with national EAPs to help employees in New York City with the issues that interfere with satisfaction in their professional and personal lives. After 9/​11, I conducted workshops, ran groups, and met with individuals to help NYC employees deal with the trauma. Publications include «Couples Counseling with High Conflict People,» a guest blog post on Psychology Today‘s popular «Stop Walking on Eggshells» blog; a chapter on how therapists help people through divorce in a book on NYS family law; and articles on relationships and general topics on my blog.
