Diane E. Arnold, MA, LPC, LPC-SC
Certified EFT Therapist
Approach to Psychotherapy and Areas of Specialization
Diane's primary practice focus is marriage, family and relationship issues. Additional areas of training include parenting, personal development, life transitions, anger management, depression, grief, anxiety/stress, trauma and spiritual growth. She strives to provide Biblically-based counseling that addresses the heart of issues -- not just the symptoms. When working with her clients, Diane understands the importance of encompassing all aspects of a person in their healing process. This can often include current life circumstances as well as a person's spiritual, emotional, and physical well being. We need healing in our emotions and spirits to walk in wholeness in every aspect of our lives. Without wholeness we can form unhealthy relationship habits. As a result, people often struggle with roots of shame and the fear of rejection by those in close relationship with us. Secure attachments are the antidote to this fear and shame.

These topics form an important spiritual foundation for building healthy family life.

Father. This book outlines how we build and maintain healthy relationships so we can walk fully in the identity of who God created us to be.
