<p>As a unique practitioner, Diana is a hybrid of counselor and hypnotherapist. Most people who practice hypnotism do not hold a Master's degree nor have experience or education in the health field.</p><p>Diana has used her MA in Psychology, her graduate work in Counseling, her certification in Hypnotherapy, and her thousands of hours of supervised experience to create a highly comprehensive system of personal transformation.</p><p>Having these credentials has allowed her to enjoy the status of being a Certified Fellow in Clinical Hypnotherapy-Public Service by the <a href="http://www.natboard.com/" target="_blank">National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.</a></p><p>Diana is currently completing a second master's degree, an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling, to complete her Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor licensure with the state of Illinois.</p><p>As a student of Aiki Ninjutsu and a prior student of Tae Kwon Do, Diana has integrated the ancient teachings and philosophies of the martial arts into her system. She learned how to use the power of focused concentration to push herself outside her comfort zone. The system that she created has proven to be more comprehensive and effective than any of the individual therapeutic techniques.</p><p>Diana finds it critically important for her clients to understand themselves and how the mind/body connection works. There is no point in the client continuing to feel bad and to beat himself up for having a problem. Usually, a client has enough awareness of a problem and really needs help in finding the answers to his problems. The client learns how to create his road map of where he wants to set his goals and learns the techniques that empower him. This is accomplished through awareness, choice, and outcome.</p><p>Being a goal-oriented practitioner, Diana uses many techniques in her therapy sessions to bring about wellness and transformation for her client. The client must be committed and willing to stay engaged in the process of change in order to achieve his desired outcome. Besides doing hypnotherapy in the office, clients are equipped with audio files for home use along with homework that keeps them active in their own process of change.</p><p><em>Personal life transformation has become the hallmark of Diana's work and the cornerstone of her success with clients.</em></p><p>As Diana is known for saying, "Empowerment is the gateway to lasting life changes."</p><p>To schedule your appointment with Diana, call her at 630-479-4676.</p>
