Diane Bahr, MD, LCPC

Diane Bahr grew up navigating painful family changes and carried those early experiences into adulthood. During her teens she faced her parents' divorce, relocation, depression, and anger, and learned to mask those struggles by staying busy with work and school rather than asking for help. She completed college and built a career, and although external milestones were achieved, a sense of wholeness remained elusive.

Her life changed again in her early 30s when her husband died suddenly. That loss became a turning point that led her to seek counseling and to confront difficult emotions and patterns she had long avoided. Through sustained therapy she began to process grief, examine unhelpful thinking habits, and move toward healing.

That personal journey shaped her professional purpose. She helps others identify the thought patterns that hold them back, set realistic and motivating goals, and make changes that align feelings and behavior. Her work balances practical strategies with empathy, and she approaches the process as an opportunity for growth that can include moments of lightness and even laughter.

Diane holds MD and LCPC credentials - MD denotes a medical doctor and LCPC indicates a licensed clinical professional counselor - and she brings her lived experience and training to support people seeking recovery, clarity, and forward motion in their lives.
