Diane McCollum, LPC, LMFT

Diane McCollum is a licensed counselor with 20 years of experience working with adults and children across a variety of settings. She approaches counseling from a humanist-spiritual perspective combined with family systems thinking, bringing warmth and compassion to clinical work while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

She holds LPC and LMFT credentials - LPC meaning Licensed Professional Counselor and LMFT meaning Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - qualifications that allow her to provide individual counseling and family or couples work. Having used counseling personally, she values the helping process and understands how meaningful change is possible, which shapes her belief that clients are not sick or helpless but often navigating life transitions where they may feel stuck.

Diane emphasizes a therapeutic alliance built on mutual respect, honesty, open communication, and consistent boundaries. She draws on trauma-focused approaches and other modalities to support people recovering from trauma and abuse, helping them develop a clearer view of how past experiences may influence the present. She encourages clients to set their own goals and treats therapy as a collaborative learning process, striving to see situations through each person’s perspective while honoring the dignity of the individual and the family.
