Diana Hope, LSCSW

Diana Hope is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with 22 years of clinical experience. She has supported people across the lifespan - from toddlers and children to teens, adults, and older adults - and has worked with many clients in their 20s and 30s. Her caseload over the years has included individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds, including Black American, Hispanic, Asian, White American, African, European, and South Pacific communities, as well as people of diverse faiths and military service members.

When beginning work with someone, she focuses first on the reasons the person is seeking support and the obstacles they perceive. She routinely checks her understanding of clients' concerns and invites clarification so the therapeutic plan stays aligned with each person’s needs. Conversations explore realistic ways situations might improve, and she draws on evidence-based methods to support progress while honoring each individual's pace.

She is described in her own words as warm and compassionate, and she emphasizes respect, kindness, and honesty in the therapeutic relationship. She also values moments of shared humor as part of healing. Her practice centers on meeting people where they are, collaborating on practical strategies, and supporting clients' growth and sense of well-being. Seeking support is acknowledged as a brave and forward-thinking step, and Diana approaches that work with a steady, client-centered commitment.
