Diane Appal, MA, LPC
Specializes In:
Diane Appal, MS, LPC works with patients 27 and over for individual, couples and family therapy. She enjoys helping clients navigate through difficult circumstances including, but not limited to, loss of interest, boundary setting, lack of motivation, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, grief, worry, low self-esteem and poor self-care. Accomplishing this requires establishing a trusting, authentic relationship that enables clients to play an active role in their own recovery. Through her years as a Licensed Professional Counselor she has developed the empathy, active listening skills and experiences to specialize in helping clients develop positive self-care, maintain boundaries, and let go of guilt.
Diane has a Master of Science in Education/Counseling from Missouri Baptist University and a
