Welcome! I'm Diana Waddell, LCSW and founder of Spring Counseling LLC. Whether you're seeking healing from trauma, navigating grief, strengthening relationships, or building your skills as a therapist, you're in the right place.
At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change happens in safe, supportive relationships; whether in therapy or supervision. This is a space where your story matters, your identity is honored, and your growth is supported. Let's take the next step, together.
I provide individual, couple, family, and group therapy rooted in curiosity, connection, and trust. My practice integrates EMDR, IFS, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and DBT—tailoring each session to your unique needs and strengths. I also offer clinical supervision, consultation, and professional training.
At Spring Counseling LLC, we meet you where you are, with compassion, clinical depth, and a relational approach grounded in trust and respect.
We recognize that healing and growth look different for everyone. That's why we create a space that honors your lived experience, affirms your identity, and supports meaningful, lasting change.
Our work together is about building trust, deepening awareness, and moving forward, one step at a time. We're here to walk alongside you, wherever you are on your path.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MAC
"Diana is a dedicated and compassionate therapist who brings genuine passion to her work. With years of experience and deep knowledge, she creates a healing space that supports meaningful and lasting transformation."
It's not about being "fixed" or "cured," it's about building the inner and outer resources to meet life as it is, with more clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. Sometimes therapy means processing trauma or grief. Sometimes it means learning how to regulate emotions, understand patterns, or feel more connected in relationships.
At its heart, therapy is a space to be fully seen, supported, and understood— especially when life feels overwhelming or unclear. It's a process of growing stronger in your own voice, grounded in a relationship built on safety and trust.
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." — Maya Angelou
Just like therapy helps people grow and heal, professional support—through supervision, consultation, or training—helps those of us doing this work stay connected, supported, and grounded. Whether you're just starting out or have been in the field for years, I offer a space where you can show up fully with questions, uncertainty, wisdom, and all.
To me, professional growth isn't about having it all figured out. It's about staying curious, reflective, and aligned with what matters most to you. My hope is to support you in feeling more confident, resourced, and connected in the work you're doing— because the people we serve benefit when we feel steady and supported, too.
"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." — Paulo Coelho
